5 football superstars who have picked their Ballon d'Or top three

#4 Paul Pogba

He insisted that it should go to one of his international teammates

The Manchester United man has admitted that he does not deserve the award and echoed the sentiments of his France teammate Antoine Griezmann when he insisted that it should go to one of his international teammates after France lifted the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.

Speaking to AFP, he said,

"Whether it's Grizou (Antoine Griezmann), Kylian (Mbappe) or Raph (Raphael Varane), they deserve it much more than me"

"I cannot designate one. But I hope with all my heart that it will be one of the three"

"One of the four, actually, because there is NG (N'Golo Kante). That's all I hope for anyway, because there are many who deserve it. I do not put myself in"

Speaking of the award, Griezmann famously said,

"We are world champions, we're part of the best team in the world"

"In this best team in the world, there must be the best player in the world, right?"

"In any case, that's what I think. Afterwards, there are votes, opinions, different judgements"

"But I think that a Frenchman must win the Ballon d'Or this year"
