@FootynewsCalling the exclusion of Cristiano Ronaldo from the 30 Ballon d'Or nominees an injustice feels like a necessary stance because it insults football. The numbers back this up: he won the Saudi Pro League title with Al-Nassr, netted 28 goals in that same league, and managed to score during his sixth World Cup appearance. It is wild that someone with those stats isn't even on the shortlist.

The image is a split screen featuring Cristiano Ronaldo on the left and a golden trophy on the right. Ronaldo is smiling broadly, wearing a red, green, and black scarf over a black and white polo shirt. The trophy is a golden soccer ball on a crystalline base, with a nameplate. The mood is celebratory and proud. The trophy is engraved with "FIFA BALLON D'OR 2012" and the nameplate reads "Lionel Messi".
