Online voting gives victory to Cristiano Ronaldo, but it doesn't count for the Ballon d'Or

Cristiano Ronaldo won an online vote for the 'Ballon d'Or of All Time', but it is only symbolic and does not grant an actual award. France Football clarified that this public vote is a survey and will not affect the official Ballon d'Or ceremony. The voting, initiated on October 9, aimed to highlight the best career season of past winners. Ronaldo's 2007/08 season with Manchester United topped the poll, surpassing Lionel Messi's 2012 award. Other nominees included legends like Ronaldo Nazário and Johan Cruyff. The final results will be announced on October 28, after the official Ballon d'Or ceremony, where Ronaldo is not nominated.
