And former the Reds star Steven Gerrard thinks that the Dutch defender "100 per cent" deserves to win the most prestigious individual award on December 2. Speaking after Rangers' Europa League game against Feyenoord, Gerrard said: "Yes, 100 per cent. "I'm Messi's number one fan, for sure. I love the player. Obscene numbers in his game in terms of assists and goals. I'm definitely a Messi fan, in the gang. "But if you talk about consistency from one player over a year, who wins the European Cup and is absolutely faultless in every performance, that means you deserve to win the Ballon d'Or." source - Goal.
