Cristiano Ronaldo did not deserve to win the Ballon d'Or despite his trophy success in 2016, according to Barcelona legend Xavi.
The Real Madrid forward won the prize for the fourth time on Monday after he received more than double the voting points of Barca superstar Lionel Messi, who came second.
Ronaldo described last season as the best of his career after he won the Champions League with Madrid and Euro 2016 with Portugal, having become the Spanish club's all-time top goalscorer in October 2015.
Xavi, however, feels it was wrong to award the prize to a player based on the titles he has won, rather than his individual quality.
