Ballon d'Or 2013: Voting breakdown, who voted for whom?

Cristiano Ronaldo didn't vote for Lionel Messi, and Messi didn't vote for Ronaldo.

The captain of Cameroon voted for Ivory Coast's Yaya Toure, Brazilian defender Thiago Silva was the choice of the coach of China and the Granadan media voted for Manchester United striker Robin van Persie.

The official voting statistics from Monday's 2013 Ballon d'Or ceremony in Zurich make fascinating reading.

Nominations were submitted by 184 coaches, 184 national captains and 173 members of the global media, but are the the voting patterns more akin to a controversial Eurovision Song Contest? You decide.
