Lionel Messi is likely to win his eighth Ballon d’Or on October 30. The Argentine had an unbelievable year, winning the World Cup while being the best player in the tournament. He also played a key part in his side’s league success last season. The only other candidate to rival Messi for the Ballon d’Or has to be Manchester City’s Erling Haaland. He won the treble last season and made over 60 goal contributions for the Sky Blues in all competitions. Despite the dominance of the two superstars, an ex-Real Madrid icon believes that neither of the two stars is the best in the world. Interestingly, he has picked a current Galactico as the ‘best player’ crown.

The Real Madrid legend has caught the media’s attention after his statement. He believes that the Los Blancos star is ahead of the two top Ballon d’Or candidates. Let’s take a closer look at this matter.
