Showing great athletic form at the Paris "Saint-Germain" club, Zlatan Ibrahimovic does not consider himself a favorite to win the "Ballon d'Or" award.
According to the forward, the most realistic contenders for this award are Barcelona star Lionel Messi and Real Madrid's attacking leader Cristiano Ronaldo.
"Several players truly deserve to win the "Ballon d'Or" award," said the Swede. "Franck Ribery had a fantastic season, so he is also one of the favorites."
"But we all know very well about the abilities of Lionel and Ronaldo. They are top-class players, so they are the two main contenders for this title," added Z. Ibrahimovic.
The 32-year-old footballer will have the chance to test his strength with one of these players on Friday - C. Ronaldo, as the Swedes will compete against Portugal for a ticket to the 2014 World Cup.
