Last week it was revealed that the winner of this year's "Golden Ball" award was Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric.
Despite the announced results, passions continue to simmer in Italy.
Taking second place, Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo complained that the election results are unfair.
"I think I deserve the 'Golden Ball' every year.
That's why I try to work hard, but if I don't win, it's not the end of the world. Numbers don't lie, but I don't think the results have ruined my mood.
I have fantastic friends, family, play for one of the best clubs, do you think I'll go home and cry?
I'm disappointed, but life goes on and I'll continue to train hard," said the Portuguese player.
