Julio Salinas has slammed Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo after his fifth Ballon d'Or triumph.

The former Barcelona and Atletico Madrid man even claimed that Ronaldo didn't deserve all of these individual prizes.

"Just because you're very good, that doesn't mean you're the best, as you've had the bad luck of coinciding with the great Messi," he wrote on Twitter.

"Sincerely, I don't think you are on the podium of the best in history, as there are quite a few who'd surpass you.

"Comfort yourself with these Ballon d'Or awards (something you have not deserved)."
