Ronaldinho gave his support to former teammate Lionel Messi in the race for the FIFA’s Ballon d’Or.
Ronaldinho spent five years at Barcelona in Spain and many see him as Messi’s mentor. Messi is now going for his fifth Ballon d’Or in only six seasons but faces stiff competition from Christiano Ronaldo.
But when Ronaldinho recently talked to Coca Cola FM he had no doubt who he thought should win,
“Cristiano is very complete, but Messi has magic.”
German goalkeeper Manuel Neur makes up the three man shortlist for the award. The ceremony takes place in Zurich on January 12th 2015.
