Real Madrid castigates UEFA
president Michel Platini's claim that a German should win the Ballon d'Or and
not Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo, a two-time winner, is seen as a possible winner
of the award by January, but Platini stated in a report that one of these
shortlisted Germans: Toni Kroos, Philipp Lahm, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Manuel
Neuer, Thomas Muller and Mario Gotze, should earn it. Blancos coach Carlo
Ancelotti and president Florentino Perez, who both support Ronaldo, decry this
statement. Also on Friday, Madrid released a statement criticising Platini's
comment, while Madrid Fabio Coentrao described Michel's comment as
'disgraceful.'
