Ronaldo picked up the award for the second successive year, after international coaches, captains and journalists voted him the world’s best player in 2014, but Wenger believes that the whole concept of the Ballon d’Or is nonsensical:
“I am totally against the Ballon d’Or, I am a team-lover.”
“I would not vote for anyone, I am completely against it.”
