Jose Mourinho, Real Madrid Manager who got in his kitty his first La Liga title with his team said he feels that Cristiano Ronaldo deserves to be awarded the next Balloon d’Or Player of the year award and not Lionel Messi.
Messi who has won the World best player award back to back became only the second player in history to win three successive times last January after Michel Platini who the football legend and the present UEFA President won from 1983-1985.
Mourinho said he feels that the former Manchester United player’s contribution formed a very huge part of their success this season which part of it is the team winning of the La Liga title, so he believes that Ronaldo should be a worthy winner when the awards come around again.
Although Ronaldo’s 46 league goals fell four short of Messi’s remarkable haul as the Argentine claimed the Pichichi and the European Golden Shoe.
And for that reason Mourinho believes his 27-year-old compatriot should be rewarded by FIFA when Ballon d’Or voting takes place.
In Mourinho’s words “Cristiano has to win the Ballon d’Or, not because he has been the top goal scorer, he was that already last season, but because his goals delivered a title.
“Messi scored 50 goals that weren’t worth anything, in the same way that Cristiano scored 42 last season that didn’t stand for anything. He hasn’t been able to win the Pichichi and I believe he should be compensated with the Ballon d’Or.”
Meanwhile, Mourinho has again reiterated that winning La Liga with Madrid was toughest he has ever won. The 49-year-old Portuguese has now won seven championships in four different countries after collecting two league titles each with Porto, Chelsea and Inter Milan. But he believes overcoming Barca has been the biggest challenge of his career.

What do you think?

ATTENTION seeker! The ballon d'or is voted for why not let the players and coaches make their choice. What trophy did ronaldinho win in 2004 when he was awarded the title over henry. Oshi!!!!

last season ronaldo did not outscore messi. They both scored 53 goals, and messi had a lot more assists. So mourinho is talking trash. Messi won the ballon dor cause he won the champions league medal as well. So where is ronaldo's champions league medal this season? None has scored 5 goals in a single champions league game, none has scored 50 goals in a season in europe, none has scored 70 goals in a season, none has scored 29 goals in the knock out phase of the champions league, none has become top scorer in 4 consecutive champions league season. All these records messi has broken in 2012. And just because some prom queen won only la liga he should be awarded the ballon dor! Lols. Messi's 72 goals did not count for nothing. Messi's 72 goals won barcelona the spanish super cup, the european super cup, the club world cup and most likely the copa del rey 2012. Moanrinho should wait for the voting to be done.

You dey mine dem? They are all feeling insecure ahead of the Ballon D'or, because they are afraid CR7 may loose again to Messi. CR7 also went onto CNN claiming he is better than Messi,Bunch of attention seekers.

Goal.com analysis: without messi and ronaldo's goals barca would be 6th on the table 17 points behind madrid who would still be first and win la liga even without ronaldo's goals. Without messi's and ronaldo's goals ans assists madrid would still have won al liga while barca would be 8th. So how important are they to their teams? Do the math.
