It's surprising to see Cristiano comes 6 on the list. But it surprised me more to know that Iker Casillas has voted Cristiano Ronaldo for third, and voted for Robben Arjen and Wesley Sneijder first and second. I thought he voted for Cris first, just like he said. While Cristiano voted Xavi, Iker, and Sneijder for first, second and third. Cris was being reasonable with his votes.
On his Twitter, Cris congratulate Mou for the award, but didn't congratulate Messi or Iker....;p
