Explained: Why Cristiano Ronaldo(CR7) didn’t cast a vote at FIFA Best awards as Lionel Messi wins men’s player of the year for second time

-

Lionel Messi has landed the FIFA Best men’s player of the year award for a second time, but Cristiano Ronaldo cast no votes in that process.



WHY DIDN’T Cristiano Ronaldo CAST A VOTE? Five-time Golden Ball winner Ronaldo did not cast any votes in the Best poll, with FIFA confirming that veteran defender Pepe took on those responsibilities for Portugal in the wake of a World Cup finals that saw Ronaldo restricted to bench duty on a regular basis. Pepe gave his top pick to France and Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe, before opting for his former Real Madrid colleagues Luka Modric and Karim Benzema in the second and third spots respectively.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: New Portugal boss Roberto Martinez, who was in charge of Belgium at the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar, voted for Argentina icon Messi ahead of Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne and PSG forward Mbappe.

WHAT’S NEXT:  Ronaldo – who won the first two FIFA Best men’s awards that were handed out in 2016 and 2017 – received no votes at all this time around as he was not named on the list of nominees. He was also ineligible to cast any personal vote after being left off the final shortlist. For now, the 38-year-old is focused on making the best of a fresh start he has taken with Saudi Arabian outfit Al-Nassr.

  Cristiano Ronaldo   is feeling at home again. It took only two games for him to make his peace with Portugal’s national team and show he is not done impressing at the international level just yet. In his return after a disappointing World Cup and a controversial move to Saudi soccer, the 38-year-old Ronaldo scored four goals in Portugal’s first two games in 2024 European Championship qualifying, showing he remains the leader that fans got used to seeing wearing the national team’s red and green uniform. Ronaldo netted twice in the 6-0 rout of Luxembourg on Sunday, three days after scoring another brace in the 4-0 win over Liechtenstein when he became the men’s player with the most international appearances with 197. “Two games, two victories,” the Portugal captain said on his social media accounts after the win at Luxembourg. “Happy to have contributed to a very positive start by our national team. Let’s go.” The goals came against European minnows but seemed to be enough to...

  Australian middle-order batsman  Travis Head   said being dropped for the opening test in India came as a surprise after “robust” conversations with the selectors, and he was ready to play anywhere in the line-up after being recalled. The 29-year-old aggressive left-hander Travis Head was left out of the team for the first test of the four-match series in Nagpur after struggling against spin on the tours of Pakistan and Sri Lanka. “It was something that I didn’t expect coming here,” Travis Head told reporters in New Delhi. “The conversations were robust. Everyone has different opinions. I respect the coaching staff and selectors and I have a strong relationship with them. “I think that’s what made the conversations the way they went because there’s respect that goes both ways and we were able to voice our opinions. “I woke up the next morning and I’m still on tour playing for Australia, I still get to do what I love to do. I’d love to be competing and playing but there’...
