Can Ronaldo win a sixth Ballon d’Or award?
No, Ronaldo cannot win his sixth Ballon d’Or award in 2025 because, like his rival, Lionel Messi, he has also not been nominated in the 30-man list for this year’s edition.
Ronaldo currently plays his football for Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League and has scored 103 goals in 116 games in all competitions for the Riyadh-based team.
