Virgil van Dijk makes a surprise claim over Ronaldo's absence in Ballon d'Or ceremony.
Ronaldo, in fact, won't be present at the gala in Paris as he will attend the Gran Gala del Calcio in Milan instead.
In other words, he most likely won't win. In an interview on the red carpet, the Liverpool man teased Ronaldo about the award.
When asked 'Cristiano won't be here, so that’s already one 1 rival less', Van Dijk said 'was he really a rival?'

One Good season and people forget who's their Dad. Even Messi won't say something like this.

He’s not a rival because what he has accomplished, you will never get close to it . On the other hand , this’s why Ronaldo should learn to show sportsmanship. He should be present and show respect ✊

Who cares if Messi is awarded 100 ballon D'or, for me Ronaldo would remain the best in history & an inspiration in the beautiful game of football, it is ok to have a special likeness for a person, come to think of it world best should be given to players who had proven theirself in the world stage as long football is concern not someone who only perform in one league & you call him world best really that is an insult to other players come to think of it, Messi is not the greatest dribbler, when we talk of skills you mention J.J okocha ronaldino even robinho and the likes, it's very ok to hate Cr7 but he will remain the best player, Messi is just a Barcelona best player & laliga that's all whether anyone cares to listen or not
