Shocking! Xavi admits Ronaldo is better than Messi Read more

 Former Barcelona captain Xavi  is sure that Cristiano Ronaldo may have the edge in this year’s Ballon d’Or race. Recall that the Real Madrid will reportedly be at least among the final three nominees. He last won the trophy in 2014. This year Ronaldo fired his side to UEFA Champions League glory before captaining Portugal to victory at Euro2016.                                                                                                                                                                                                However, the 36-year-old has now admitted: “Cristiano has the numbers to win this year’s Ballon d’Or, having won the Champions League and the Euros. But I also think that it’ll be very competitive, because Messi will be there, of course.”
