'Ridiculous and shameful' - Ronaldo agent fumes at UEFA Player of the Year snub

Cristiano Ronaldo's agent has slammed UEFA for not giving the Juventus star the Player of the Year award.

Ronaldo did not show up at the Champions League group stage draw ceremony, where the awards for last season were handed out.

After winning a third consecutive Champions League crown with Real Madrid last season and finishing as the competition's top scorer, Ronaldo was named the best forward last season and was named among the final three for the big prize.

Instead, it was another Madrid hero, Luka Modric, who was named top performer overall, as chosen by 60 coaches from the Champions and Europa League competitions and 55 journalists from across Europe.
