This is what Cristiano Ronaldo said recently.

You can read about it from https://www.flashscore.com/news/soccer-champions-league-ronaldo-weighs-into-ballon-d-or-debate-it-should-go-to-champions-league-winner/niqxCKTp/

We have seen some times that the Ballon d'Or winner is not a player from the Champions League winner. Do you agree what C. Ronaldo said?
I don't know what C. Ronaldo, had deep down in his mind for making the comment, but despite seeing reasons from his perspective I don't entirely agree with him. Some analysts are suggesting that he made those comments because of Messi, being his rival but we wouldn't know for sure. Selecting ballon d'Or winner from players that have won a UEFA champions league is not fair because there are many great players that have not been opportuned to win the trophy. I don't know the whole criteria for selecting perticipants for the best player but giving much focus on champions league trophy is not a good criteria.
