Cristiano Ronaldo finishes third in the Golden Ball for the first time in his career

Leo Messi wins his sixth Golden Ball

Cristiano Ronaldo finished third in the Golden Ball for the first time in his career. Maybe that's why he decided not to go - he was also at the 'The Best' gala - to the ceremony that crowned Leo Messi for the sixth time, 850 kilometers from Paris, from the 'Grand Gala of Calcio' held at the Megawatt In Milan, Jorge Mendes took the opportunity to defend his representative: "Cristiano Ronaldo is the best ever." His presence was unknown until last minute, but next to Mendes was Cristiano Ronaldo to collect the 'Oscar' that accredited him as 'Best Player' of Serie A 2018-19. "It is a pride to be the best player in Serie A. I thank my teammates and everyone who has voted for me. Now I will work to repeat and be here for the year next, "he said. It was not the only prize that CR7 collected. The Juventus franchise player was also leading the 'Eleven Ideal' last season. It was completed by Handanovic (Inter); Cancelo (ex Juventus), Chiellini (Juventus), Koulibaly (Naples), Kolarov (Rome); Pjanic (Juventus), Barella (Cagliari / Inter), Ilicic (Atalanta); Quagliarella (Sampdoria) and Zapata (Atalanta) .After the gala, Cristiano left the MegaWatt in Milan without making statements.

The exmadridista, obviously, was not the only one awarded in the 'Grand Gala of Calcium AIC' 2018-19. Atalanta, third in the last Serie A, was one of the big winners of the night. President Antonio Percassi collected the award for 'Best Team' and Gian Piero Gasperini received the award for 'Best Coach'.

Gianluca Rocchi, for the second consecutive year, was named 'Best Referee'. It is far, even so, from the seven decorations Nicola Rizzoli received.
