Ronaldo's sister fails to see funny side of Virgil's jibe

MILAN－Cristiano Ronaldo's sister failed to see the funny side after Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk joked that the Portuguese forward was "not really a rival" in the Ballon D'Or award voting.

Dutchman van Dijk finished second behind Lionel Messi in Monday's ceremony in Paris, with Ronaldo third.

Juventus forward Ronaldo was absent from the presentation for the prize he has won five times, preferring to go to Milan where he was voted Serie A's Player of the Year.
