       FC Bayern Munchen v Manchester City FC - UEFA Champions League

Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski has admitted his decision to vote for Cristiano Ronaldo over teammate Manuel Neuer for the FIFA Ballon D'Or was a mistake. 


Poland's captain put Cristiano Ronaldo first, followed by Bayern teammates Manuel Neuer and Bastian Schweinsteiger, but says he would go back and change his vote if he could. 

"Voting for Ronaldo instead of Neuer was a mistake," Lewandowski told Welt, as quoted by ​Goal.

"I would clearly vote for Neuer now if I had the chance. But I already cast my vote back in August or something. I would vote different now."

FIFA Ballon d

Neuer ended up in third place with 15.72% of the votes, just 0.04 percent behind Lionel Messi. As a surprise to many, Cristiano not only won, but doubled his opponents percentages,with 37.66% of the votes.

"I am sorry for Manu. I am really surprised that he did not even come in second and the big gap to Ronaldo also baffles me. Manuel is an amazing goalkeeper and person."

Despite not taking home the award he may have wanted, Neuer did not go home empty handed, as he was one of three Bayern Munich players to make the FIFA World XI along with Arjen Robben and Philipp Lahm.
