Arsenal FC – Aaron Ramsey is The Next to Bore Us With the Non Celebration

Zlatan Ibrahimovic – Doesn’t Need Awards, He Knows He’s the Best
The joint top scorer in the Champions League this season along with Cristiano Ronaldo isn’t going to be enough to propel Zlatan Ibrahimovic when it comes to the Ballon d’Or voting, but the Swedish phenom, leading PSG to the next round in the Champions League and probably another Ligue 1 championship, doesn’t really care about awards.

Real Madrid – Gareth Bale Makes the Most of a Missing Cristiano Ronaldo
The evening was about Cristiano Ronaldo and making a push to help him win the Ballon d’Or, although it looks like FIFA are doing their most to make that happen anyhow.
