Two-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo Nazario also had his say on this year’s winner. ‘El Phenomeno’ as he is fondly known as knows what he is speaking about as he has played for both Real Madrid and Barcelona and is one of the few players to win the Ballon d’Or award more than once.
Speaking to Claro Sports, the Brazilian said:
"This year, if I have to choose, I'd pick Cristiano Ronaldo over Lionel Messi for the Ballon d'Or because of what he's won,"

The Brazilian was speaking after news came out that his namesake had renewed his contract at Real Madrid until 2021. He also hoped that the Portuguese star would retire at Madrid.
"It'd be best if Cristiano Ronaldo retired at Real Madrid and then worked at the club,” he added
Ronaldo’s latest contract ill see the former Manchester United star play till 36, and it will be interesting to see what Ronaldo’s decision will be after the contract ends in 2021.
