Legendary Brazilian striker Ronaldo wants Barcelona star Neymar to “break the era” of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi by winning the 2015 FIFA Ballon d’Or in January,
The 39-year-old, who won the Ballon d’Or in 1997 and 2002, believes Neymar will win the coveted individual accolade in January 2017 - but feels either Cristiano or Messi will secure it yet again next month.
Messi is the overwhelming favourite to win the Ballon d’Or - 1/12 on with most bookmakers - followed by Neymar at 12/1 and Cristiano at 14/1.
"I would bet on Neymar winning the FIFA Ballon d’Or 2016. I think he’s still growing a lot and I think the growth of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi has reached its peak,” the former Barcelona and Real Madrid striker told FIFA.com.
“I really want Neymar to win and break up the era of Ronaldo and Messi, but I think this year it will be between the two of them again."
