Goa, Oct. 27 -- Cristiano Ronaldo's attendance at the 70th Ballon d'Or ceremony in London remains unconfirmed. Held at the London Palladium with hosts Thierry Henry and Kate Scott, the prestigious event celebrates football's top talent. Despite winning five Ballon d'Or titles, the Al-Nassr forward was left off the 30-man nominee shortlist for 2026, which features stars like Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, Lamine Yamal, and Harry Kane. Although non-nominees often attend as guests, no official confirmation indicates Ronaldo will be present in London or reunite with longtime rival Lionel Messi.
