It emerged after Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo had won the
coveted Ballon d’Or, that neither Ronaldo nor runner-up and winner since
2010, Lionel Messi, voted for the other in their top three.
The Portuguese selected Radamel Falcao for first place, followed by
Gareth Bale and Mesut Ozil, while the Argentine opted for Barcelona
team-mates Andres Iniesta, Xavi and Neymar.
England manager Roy Hodgson chose Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic and Robin van
Persie as his top three, while captain Steven Gerrard picked Ronaldo,
Messi and Liverpool team-mate Luis Suarez.
Nigeria’s Super Eagles’ stand-in captain Vincent Enyeama voted Messi,
Ronaldo, Ribery as first, second, and third respectively, while Coach
Stephen Keshi voted Yaya Toure, Ribery, and Luiz Suarez as his best
three.
