Real Madrid captain Iker Casillas says teammate Cristiano Ronaldo should win the Ballon d'Or.

It's been claimed the pair have not always been close.

But Casillas insists: "I've already voted, I'll go public with it if I want to, or it'll come out in good time.

"When they see my vote, then let them judge me. In my opinion Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player in the world and he has our full backing. The club was right to issue a statement."
