Erstwhile Chelsea star Didier Drogba has expressed his opinion that about the FIFA Ballon d’OR by saying that Christiano Ronaldo deserves to wins the cup.
Former Chelsea star Didier Drogba feels Cristiano Ronaldo deserves to win the FIFA Ballon d’Or following his achievements with Real Madrid and Portugal.
Ronaldo finally settled for the second place behind long-time rival and Barcelona star Lionel Messi in the race for the prestigious individual award in 2015, but Drogba is adamant Ronaldo has done enough this time around to reclaim the prize.
The superstar achieved another great feat by winning for real Madrid in May before proceeding to assist Portugal in their first major title at Euro 2016 when won host France 1-0 after extra time in the final.
“I played against Cristiano in the 2008 Champions League final that Manchester United won,” Drogba told the official Madrid website during their pre-season tour to Montreal.
“He’s a real leader and he deserves to win the Ballon d’Or for his great performances both for Real Madrid and Portugal.
“Although he wasn’t on the pitch at the final whistle, he was still the main reason why they got that far.”
