If you go by the current results and by pure form, the best player in the world (currently) is Real Madrid’s, Cristiano Ronaldo. A hat-trick in the World Cup 2014 play-off just a few weeks back plus a tally of 62 goals, CR7 is everybody’s favourite to win the trophy. But try telling that to Brazilian legend, Ronaldo and he has a different opinion all together.
As quoted in Spanish newspaper, Ronaldo said, “I think Messi will win the Ballon d’Or again. Messi has spent the last five years playing so many matches and he is the biggest star in world football. Now, this injury isn’t serious, but maybe resting will allow him to recharge his batteries.”
Ronaldo who has won the Ballon d’Or twice in his career – 1997 and in 2002 has voted for Lionel Messi as the ‘favourite’ even though the Argentine is third in the pecking order behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Franck Ribery as the bookies favourite to win the Ballon d’Or.
