Juventus superstar Cristiano Ronaldo names 5 rivals for this year’s Ballon d’Or.
After winning 5 Golden Balls, Portuguese now hopes to gain the 6th one and take the lead against Lionel Messi. By the way, Ronaldo doesn’t consider Argentine star a candidate for the trophy this year.
When asked about rivals during the interview with France Football, Ronaldo said: "The same as usual, even if I don’t know if Messi will be on the podium this time." (via

"So, let’s say Salah, Modric, Griezmann, Varane, Mbappe – the French in general because they are world champions.
"But I will wait and see if all these players are still at the top in 10 years, like Messi and I have done, and like we continue to do.
"Still there, on the podium, since more than 10 years.” he added.
