#6 – Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo sees his ranking for the Ballon d'Or this year drop from 2nd to 6th this month. The steep drop is mainly because he played just 3 games while the others, who ran past him in the rankings, were playing regularly and contributing to their team winning trophies.

The Portuguese star had a very good debut season in Italy but wasn't able to win the Golden Boot. He did bag the Italian Serie A Player of the Year award but it sparked a debate among the pundits and fans as to whether he truly deserved it.
The good news for Ronaldo is that he still has months of football to get back to the top of the rankings. He has a chance to help Portugal win the UEFA Nations League and then July will serve as a break for him. August onwards, he would have to be back to his best to climb up the ladder.
