Lionel Messi voted for Barcelona team-mate Luis Suarez to win the 2015 Ballon d'Or and Cristiano Ronaldo picked Karim Benzema to claim the award - but both players failed to name each other in their top three.


Messi was announced as the winner of the award for the fifth time at a ceremony in Zurich on Monday night, beating second-placed Ronaldo and Neymar to the prize.

But, as captains of their respective nations, both players were invited to vote for the winner and picked players who did not land a spot in the top three.

Barcelona stars Suarez, Neymar and Andres Iniesta made up Messi's top three, while Ronaldo voted for Benzema, James Rodriguez and Gareth Bale.
