Madrid strategist Jose Mourinho stated that Lionel Messi does not deserve the title of the best footballer of the year.

On Monday, it was revealed that the "Golden Ball" will go to the Argentine for the second time in a row, surpassing his teammates Xavi and Andres Iniesta.

However, Mourinho, who won the title of coach of the year, told AS newspaper: "I have already talked about this. Xavi, Iniesta and Messi are like footballers from another planet.

But I would have preferred Xavi, Wesley Sneijder or Diego Milito. Especially Sneijder and Milito, who played amazingly throughout the season.

Xavi should also feel regret. I have known him for many years and I have a lot of respect for him."
