Bernardo Silva Will Be Able To Compete For The Ballon d’Or

DBasia.news –  Paulo Futre, the former Portugal national team player, has strong confidence in Bernardo Silva, Manchester City player, to later win the Ballon d’Or. Because the careers of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are nearing the end.

“I think Bernardo will be one of the strong candidates who are ready to win the Ballon d’Or because he is a player who has a great sense of responsibility in big clubs like Manchester City,” Futre said as quoted by Goal.

“He will continue to grow in the next two or three years when Messi and Ronaldo are likely to retire, I am sure he can become the favorite player to win the Ballon d’Or.”

Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric ended the era dominated by Messi and Ronaldo on the list of Ballon d’Or winners. As for this season, Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk is the favorite player to become the first defender to win the award, since Fabio Cannavaro’s last time in 2006.
