Christiano Ronaldo blaming Real Madrid President Perez for Luka Modric Winning Best Player

Juventus new signing Cristiano Ronaldo is blaming Real Madrid President Florentino Perez for Luka Modric winning the UEFA Best Player of the year.

The 33-year-old Portugal international won the best forward of last season with 15 goals to his name but lost the player award to former teammate Modric after Croatian star claim the midfielder of the campaign, part of a Los Blancos clean sweep that also saw Keylor Navas and Sergio Ramos trophies.

According to Tuttosport, Ronaldo was due to attend the event the ceremony in Monte Carlo, Monaco but changes his mind last minute and cancel his private plane because he heard rumours that Perez was pressuring UEFA to reward Modric instead.
UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin told La Gazzetta dello Sport. "Why didn’t Ronaldo come? Only Ronaldo knows you should ask him. We expected him to come but then, a couple of hours before, Juve told us he wouldn’t.

"I'll only say this: there was a vote by 55 journalists and 80 Coaches, so they decided the winner and therefore the result must be accepted."However, I don’t know about Ronaldo and perhaps there were other reasons behind his absence. It’s better to be optimistic…”
