Real Madrid star, Ronaldo has sold one of his Ballon d'or prizes for €600,000 at a charity auction.

The 32-year-old specifically asked for the replica of his 2013 award to be auctioned.
Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola also took part in the event, spending €30,000 to watch a boxing match Manchester.
