5 ridiculous stats that prove Cristiano Ronaldo is irreplaceable at Real Madrid

#2 Most Ballon d’Or awards won while playing for Real Madrid - 4

No active player has won a Ballon d'Or other than Ronaldo and Messi

The Ballon d’Or is arguably the most prestigious individual award in football and a total of ten awards were won by players who were representing Real Madrid.

These ten Ballon d’Or awards were won by six players of which Cristiano Ronaldo and Alfredo Di Stefano are the only ones to win the award more than once.

Raymond Kopa, Luis Figo, Ronaldo Nazario and Fabio Cannavaro won the Ballon d’Or once each while representing Los Blancos. Di Stefano won it two times and the remaining four were won by Ronaldo.

Messi and Ronaldo are the only two players to win the award more than three times in history, let alone with one club. This alone tells you that Ronaldo’s record of four Ballon d’Or awards with Real Madrid is unlikely to be broken.
