CR7 and Griezmann snub Ballon d'Or?

By Football Italia staff

Cristiano Ronaldo and Antoine Griezmann will reportedly snub the Ballon d’Or ceremony on Monday, as Luka Modric is set to win.

According to Sky Sport Italia, both the Juventus star and Atletico Madrid forward will opt not to attend the France Football get-together.

There are multiple reports that Modric will become the first Croatian to take the trophy for Player of the Year, as he won the Champions League with Real Madrid and reached the World Cup Final with Croatia.

It’s still not clear who the runners-up will be, as some have pointed to PSG and France striker Kylian Mbappé and Real Madrid and France defender Raphael Varane.

Ronaldo had already decided not to attend the Champions League awards ceremony after finding out his former Real Madrid teammate Modric was the winner of the main award.

Griezmann and Atletico Madrid did not hide their frustration when reports emerged he was not even on the Ballon d’Or podium.
