Where was Irina when Ronaldo won the third Ballon D'Or?

The girlfriend of the Portuguese international player missed the ceremony, on Monday in Zurich, Switzerland.

After the applause to the captain of the Portuguese national team and Real Madrid player, attention turned to Ronaldo's company, or lack thereof. A year ago, the player entered the FIFA's Gala red carpet in Zurich, Switzerland, with Irina Shayk. This year he was the last to enter, alone.

It seems like the Russian model had preferred to continue the celebration of her birthday. Irina blew 29 candles last January 6 on a paradise beach of a tropical country. Sign of this are the photos that the model has shared personal Facebook, never revealing its location. But it seems the couple, always discreet, was already in a "crisis", since the last picture together had been on Christmas Day.

During the acceptance speech , Ronaldo dedicated the third trophy to the family, especially the mother, Dolores Aveiro, and his son Cristiano, who was in the audience, without ever mentioning Irina. Everybody was asking "What will have made Cristiano Ronaldo change the discourse? A simple slip or a proof of the end of the relationship of almost five years?". Few days after the mistery was revealed.
