Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo admits he didn't vote in this year's Ballon d'Or.

Ronaldo says he was unavailable when it came time to cast his decision.

"I did not have the opportunity to vote. I had an injury with Portugal and they sent me home. I did not vote," said Ronaldo.

"I'm not frustrated. They, the rivals, do their job, I do my job. There is no rivalry over who wins. Of course we're here to win but there is no rivalry."
