Ronaldo has the edge to win Ballon d’ ore
The Portuguese soccer star has been fantastic in 2013 and
the award is given to the player of great performance. Since coaches and captains of
international teams as well as journalists vote for the best player that should
take home the individual award then there is no doubt that Ronaldo has the edge.
Ronaldo Stats for 2013
66 goals in 55 games. Yep! More goals than games. However
far behind the 86 gaols Messi scored in 2012.
Six hat tricks for Real Madrid in 2013
2 hat tricks for Portugal
9 gaols in Champions League
Though Messi is back as a strong contender for the
individual award but he has not been fit in 2013 and his injury cost him to get
behind Ronaldo.
Frank Rivery of Bayern Munich won everything in 2013 and for
that reason is a strong contender as well but his individual creativity and
talent has not been as bright as that of the Portuguese.
There is no doubt that the favorite to take the Ballon d’
Ore home is Cristiano Ronaldo. In 2013 he was very consistent with club and
country, and his individual skills and brilliance were an important factor for
Portugal’s qualification to the World Cup in Brazil 2014.
