Suarez furious at Ballon'd or ommission

Barcelona forward Luis Suarez has admitted that he found it “strange” that he was not nominated for this year’s Ballon d’Or, Goal reports.

Many pundits believe that the ban was the reason why the gifted attacker did not feature on Fifa’s 23-strong shortlist for the Ballon d’Or but Suarez is mystified by his omission.

“Everyone brings it to attention,” Goal quotes him as telling RAC-1. “As my Barca team-mate Gerard Pique said, they voted me as the best player in the most difficult league in the world, or one of the most difficult.

“I was also the highest goalscorer of all of the European leagues.

“It’s strange that that I’m not on the list, but I prefer to keep quiet before saying things because every time that I speak there could be a problem.”
