I know that it is handed out in January, but I cannot say that I will not go,&rdquo; he told Spanish radio station COPE.u00a0&ldquo;I prefer to not say anything because things don&rsquo;t depend solely on me. I am not obsessed with the Ballon d&rsquo;Or. We will see what happens.&rdquo;

Cristiano Ronaldo has insisted he is not obsessed with winning the Ballon d'Or for a second time in January despite a series of scintillating performances that have made him the strong favourite to win the award.
