The Real Madrid star, considered one of the best players in the world and winner of last year’s Ballon d’Or, is a candidate to clinch the award for a fourth time in Zurich, but admitted that Messi has the advantage after Barcelona won the Triple Crown last season.
He said:
“To be honest, I think Messi is going to win this year because this kind of trophy, it depends on votes,” he said on an English TV show.
“You win competitions, you win the Champions League, you win the league in individual terms. I had probably the best season of my career, which is good and I was the highest scorer in Europe, (but) it’s all about votes, it’s difficult, and to be honest, I’m not very worried about that because as I said many times, I never thought I’d win three times.”
Talking about his “rivalry” with Messi, Ronaldo added: “I don’t have rivals, we have a normal relationship. We shared this stage at FIFA for eight years. No-one has done that in the past — only us — so it’s good.”
