ONE country didn't vote for Lionel Messi or Erling Haaland in Ballon d'Or voting

ONE country inexplicably didn't vote for Lionel Messi or Erling Haaland in the Ballon d'Or voting.

As for Haaland, France, Norway, Switzerland, Greece and Japan, among other countries, voted him as their No.1 vote.

However, somehow, ONE country didn't vote for Messi or Haaland in their top five players.

Messi and Haaland went head-to-head for the Ballon d'Or award following their respective campaigns.

The Argentine inspired his national team to World Cup glory while the 23-year-old helped the Blues to a treble last season.

But CAMEROON failed to acknowledge their stunning seasons as they didn't vote for either player.

The African nation voted Kylian Mbappe as their No.1 vote before voting for Haaland's teammates Kevin De Bruyne, Rodri and Bernardo Silva not to mention Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana, who starred at Inter Milan last season.

While Cameroon didn't appreciate Haaland's efforts, they did vote for three of his teammates.

Cameroon international Onana also got a vote after he steered Inter to the Champions League final last season.
