“The Golden Ball” is not for Ronaldo
Surprisingly Luka Modric was chosen as the No. 1 player in the World Club Championship. Cristiano Ronaldo’s expectations were to win the award for his goal in the final match against Gremio and because of his 1/2-final against Al Jazeera.
Ronaldo shared a tournament winner with Romarineo (Al Jazeera) and Mauriceio Antonio (Urawa Red Diamonds). All three have two goals.
