Cristiano Ronaldo has named 4 players who could win the Ballon d’Or in the future and succeed his historic rivalry with Lionel Messi over the most important individual awards in the world of football.
Ronaldo has already won the Ballon d’Or 5 times throughout his career, and he is the second most decorated player in history after Messi, who has won it 8 times.
Ronaldo was asked about who could win the Ballon d’Or from the current generation, to which he replied, “Kylian Mbappe can win the Ballon d’Or in the next few years.”
He also added, “It is likely that Erling Haaland, Jude Bellingham and Lamine Yamal will also achieve this.”
Ronaldo was hosted by Rio Ferdinand, who added the name of Vinicius Junior as one of those who could win the Ballon d’Or, and the Don agreed with him.
Ronaldo concluded his speech by saying, “I think the new generation has a lot of potential.”
