C.Ronaldo is the big favorite to win the 2016 Ballon d’Or
After winning the 2016 Euro’s and the Champions League of the same year, its hard to deny the sensational form that C.Ronaldo is going through as the Portuguese attacker is running past everything in his path.
FIFA Ballon d’Or is the most prestigious individual award that a football player can receive as this title is given to whoever is considered to be as the best performer in a single season. The last few years, it has been Lionel Messi the one that has managed to dominate after winning it 4 times in the past 6 years.
It seems like this time around its going to be C.Ronaldo who is going to claim the individual award as the star of Real Madrid is even receiving recognition from some of his rivals including Barcelona’s Neymar.
"Winning titles plays a big role in the race for the Ballon d'Or. Ronaldo won the Champions League and now Euro 2016 as well. So I reckon he is in a good position. Plus Ronaldo is a great player. I have no qualms in saying that." Neymar said.
Didier Drogba is another football icon who has recently talked about the dominance that C.Ronaldo has been showing and the experienced attacker also stated that he does deserve to win the upcoming edition of the FIFA Ballon d’Or as he has been playing at a level above everyone else.
"I played against Cristiano in the Champions League final in 2008; he won with Manchester United against Chelsea. He is a true leader and he deserves the Ballon d'Or for the great work he has done for Real Madrid and Portugal. Although he could not play the whole Euro 2016 final, he was the biggest reason that his team got there." Didier Drogba said as he praised C.Ronaldo.
The 2016 edition of the FIFA Ballon d’Or will be given out on January of 2017 and from the looks of it, Cristiano Ronaldo is the one that is leading the race.
