Today is 13th January, a day when the best
footballer of the year will be revealed, yes FIFA Ballon d’Or ceremony is today
which is in Zurich, Germany.
Following are the three nominees.
Cristiano Ronaldo – Portugal and Real Madrid
Ronaldo ended last season without winning any trophy
with Real Madrid but he showed exceptional qualities especially for Portugal in
the World Cup play-off round against Sweden. Furthermore he is currently the top scorer in La Liga with 20 goals, he has also scored 9 goals in just 5 games
for Madrid in the Champions League group stage. Last time he won was in 2008
when he was at Manchester United. For me he deserves to win this time.
Franck Ribery - Bayern Munich and France
French winger is also the one who can win this award
due to his performance in the last season treble with Bayern Munich. Bayern won
Bundesliga and Champions League that year which is the major positive point for
the 30-year-old winger. This season Ribery has scored 12 goals in 22 games for
the German side.
Lionel Messi – Argentina and Barcelona
The four times Ballon d’Or winner might not win this
award this time as Ronaldo has displayed some extraordinary football, but as I always
said everything is possible in football.
Messi has not been regular this season due to his
injury, recently he returned and continued his goal scoring record. He has scored
8 goals in 12 games for Barcelona in La Liga this season.
