Legendary Dutch footballer Ruud Gullit somewhat unexpectedly stated that Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi is not deserving of the Ballon d'Or award.
According to the former striker, there is currently a better player in the world - Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo.
"He deserves this trophy more than the Argentine. It's almost as if it confirms that Ronaldo is an incredibly talented footballer. My vote would undoubtedly go to him.
I hope that the most prestigious personal award will be given to the Portuguese, because he is incredible.
Of course, Messi recently surpassed G. Muller and this could influence the election results. However, C. Ronaldo still does not lag behind him in any way and should not again remain second," Gullit said.
