DBasia.news – It seems like the domination of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in Ballon d’Or award will end soon. Moreover, Ronaldo mentioned other players that could be the candidate.
However, like usual, both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are still listed as the nominees of 2018 Ballon d’Or.
Both are the most winners of Ballon d’Or. They have 5 awards of the world’s best football player.
They dominated the Ballon d’Or for the last decade. Kaka was the last player who got the trophy except for Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
This time, Ronaldo assumed Lionel Messi won’t win the 2018 Ballon d’Or. Moreover, Ronaldo also thinks that he isn’t necessarily the winner this season.
“The same as usual, even if I don’t know if Messi will be on the podium this time,” Cristiano Ronaldo said.
“So, let’s say Salah, Modric, (Antoine) Griezmann, (Raphael) Varane, (Kylian) Mbappe – the French in general because they are world champions.”
“But I will wait and see if all these players are still at the top in 10 years, like Messi and I have done, and like we continue to do,” Cristiano Ronaldo continued.
