Platini, said the annual prize, which is given to the world's best player, should be awarded to one of Germany's World Cup-winning squad,Platini said earlier this week, though, that the winner should be “a world champion” - Mario Goetze, Toni Kroos, Philipp Lahm, Thomas Muller, Manuel Neuer and Bastian Schweinsteiger.
Real have accused Platini and reminded him that it is an individual rather than a collective prize.
Should Ronaldo be named the world's best player in January, the prolific star will have three Ballon d'Or's in his collection.
