Cristiano Ronaldo ‘hasn’t spoken to Sergio Ramos since Real Madrid exit and is upset about Ballon d’Or snub for Modric’
CRISTIANO RONALDO and Sergio Ramos have not spoken to each other for two years, according to reports.
The Portuguese star, 35, left Real Madrid in 2018 and joined Juventus for £99million.
And Marca reckon the former team-mates have not spoken to each other since – with Ronaldo left ‘upset’ by Ramos’ Ballon d’Or snub, when he backed Luka Modric instead.
Ronaldo won two LaLiga titles, two Copa del Rey crowns and four Champions Leagues in nine years at Madrid.
Since then, he has picked up back-to-back Serie As with Juventus – while Real won the league title last season.
Despite leaving on good terms and well respected, he reportedly felt shunned when Ramos backed his Real team-mate Modric for the 2018 Ballon d’Or.
The Croatian World Cup runner-up won a landslide victory with 753 voting points as Ronaldo came second way back on 476, pipping Antoine Griezmann.
Ronaldo, who won his fifth and last crown in 2017, then did not attend the awards ceremony last year when Modric handed over the trophy to Lionel Messi.
It is thought his relationships with many of his Real pals has broken down – with the exception of full-back Marcelo.
However, Marca suggest Ronaldo continues to have a special bond with the Real Madrid board including president Florentino Perez.
