"I Deserve Ballon d'Or" - C Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo says he deserves to win the Ballon d'Or for a sixth time, over rivals including Antoine Griezmann, Luka Modric, Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi.
Ronaldo helped fire Real Madrid to a third consecutive Champions League crown before joining Juventus and he is in no doubt he should win the Ballon d'Or for a record-breaking sixth time.
"I said many times, winning a sixth Ballon d'Or is not an obsession," Ronaldo said in a France Football interview . "And I do not ask the question in these terms.
"I already know, in my heart, that I am one of the best players in history. Of course, I want to win, this sixth Ballon d'Or!
"It would be a lie to tell you the opposite. I work for that. As I work to score goals and win games without being an obsession. The Ballon d'Or, yes, I think I deserve it."
Five-time world football of the year Cristiano Ronaldo became the most following person on Instagram on Monday.
