Still mad about losing a fourth straight Ballon d’Or?
Cristiano Ronaldo was presented with a custom-made Ballon d’Or cake at the Portuguese national team’s training facility in Obidos, a sweet reminder that he’s still Number 1in the hearts of Portuguese bakers everywhere.
No news yet on whether or not Lionel Messi has broken into the facility and stepped on the cake.
Photobomb!
Needless to say, Cristiano Ronaldo had a rough night at FIFA’s Ballon d’or gala on Monday night.
Not only did CR7 miss out on the prized FIFA award, but it looks like the Portuguese foward received a second snub of sorts after ex-Barcelona manager Josep Guardiola refused to shake his hand.
Poor, poor Ronaldo.
With FIFA’s Ballon D’or 2012 award ceremony only a few weeks away, we take a look back at the only goalkeeper to to hold the award: Lev Yashin.
Yashin played for Dynamo Moscow from 1950-1970, with a total of 326 appearances and 1 goal to his credit. Nicknamed the “Black Spider,” Yashin also made 78 international appearances for the Soviet Union. The ex- Dynamo Moscow keeper also holds the honor of being voted the best goalkeeper of the 20th century by the IFFHS.
Sit back and watch as we honor one of the all-time greats in world football.
