5 reasons why Cristiano Ronaldo might not win the Ballon d'Or

#3 Impact in La Liga

While Ronaldo found his best form during the latter half of the season, he failed to inspire his team to noteworthy wins, meaning they simply could not catch up to Barcelona.

The Portuguese scored a whopping 26 goals in the competition, but his assist tally stood at a measly 5, clearly indicating that when he did not get on the scoresheet, he failed to impact the game.

Moreover, Ronaldo is a bit of a slow starter in the league. He scored only 1 goal in the first half of the campaign and this could very well be the case next season as well. Since the Ballon d'Or takes into account the performances of the players for an entire calendar year, a slow start could weigh heavily against him come voting time.
