Brazilian star Kaka says Barcelona ace Lionel Messi deserves to win the Ballon d’Or award this year.
Kaka won the award last year after winning the Champions League with AC Milan.
It is expected that the battle for the Ballon d’Or will be between Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
“Messi deserves the Ballon d’Or,†Kaka told Spanish newspaper Sport.
“He is a real superstar. Ronaldo would also be a valid choice, but I see Messi as my successor.
“I admire Lionel’s ability and ball control. He is one of those players who you always want to have in your team.â€Â
The Ballon d’Or will be presented in December.

You can’t win the Ballon d’Or when you spend so much time on the ground appealing for fouls, and crying to referees. Hope Messi gets it, not Ronaldo
Although cristiano ronaldo is a very good player, no doubt about that. He has helped his club man utd win the premier league and the champions league double last season, kudos to him. But I still believe lionel messi is a better player and deserves the award. Mind you he is also instrumental to argentina’s victory in the international soccer event of the 2008 beijing olympics.
Don’t get me wrong. I understand everyone’s gripe over Ronaldo and certainly Messi is a great selection, but bar none Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player out there and deserves the Ballon d’Or
i think cristiano ronaldo deserves the ballon d”or
Is only a somebody that doesn’t what its takes in soccer will say messi doesn’t deserve d award.in short he’s a great player pass c.ronaldo.
It’s take a great look and observation to view or see inside of a man i think messi is a great and a better player.dont be deceive he deserves d ballon d’ or c ronadol is a good but not a great player thanks
C.ronaldo is a great player and deserve any price to be given out dis year bcos of his performance 2ruout last season
I think christain ronaldo deserve the award cause i think messi is playing nothing
I know some idiot will say ronaldo is d best and he deserves it because he scored some stupid goals which he always score against small teams. But talk of messi he is such a wonderboy that has d GOD given talent of football and he always deliver when u need most. For me messi is d best and he deserves d “ballon de or”.
He scored in the Champions League final against Chelsea, one of the biggest clubs in the world on club football’s grandest stage. Stupid goal? If Messi delivers when you need it most why did Barca finish 3rd last year? Sure Messi is an amazing player, and will probably go on to be in the top ten or even top five best of all time, but the award is given out on a yearly basis and is supposed to reflect the best player of the previous year, not who we think will be the best overall. That said, Ronaldo deserves the Ballon d’Or, and if anyone thinks I’m biased, I am an Arsenal fan, it doesn’t get any more unbiased than that.
Everyone has his own opinion. I think that last season, Ronaldo was better than Messi.
it’s only a blind person will say that c Ronald did not deserve the award.
What should b should be,i think messi is in great shape 2 win d award,Although c ronaldo is a great player bt messi is messi(wonda boy)
Messi is quite a football controller,a guy that football obey BUTremeber there is always a master in very thing under this world.that`s means that C.ronaldo is a star he deserves the award
C. Ronaldo, who served his club very well this year deserves the Ballon d’Or Awards but i doubt if he’s going to get it as far as discipline in football is concerned. For this, i’m convinced that the award will go to Lionel who was also impressive and disciplined this year for his club and country. Ronaldo did not do very well for his country this year. All these make doubt
They are both great players and probably the best going around at the moment. Messi or Ronanldo? I don’t think there will be too many complaints either way
i think that c ronaldo deserves the award. because he is absolutry amazing last season
I believe dat evry footballers are good,but there’s a best among,c ronaldo is a great player that as skills,and he won both champions and league 4 is club,but he doesn’t won any 4 is country.but lionel messi who won beijein olympic 4 is country bcoz doin sometin 4 country is more important than d club.I believe that lionel messi deserves d world footballer of d year not c ronaldo.thanks
Both player are playing good and professional football for there respective culbs,but going by there overall performance C.Ronaldo deserves the award than L.Messi.Inrespective of where they play for.
messi i strongly believe deserves the ballon than c Ronadon,who is only a good player of small team like west ham
MESSI DESERVES TO WIN.this season without messi help barcelona is no wear
I am an analyst and I should be fair: Why Messi this season?
1)Messi won olympic gold medal. All from first round till final–it is not easy.
Ronaldo???????
2) He gels well with the a)national team . Ronaldo for Portugal..euro?????
and b)club team too–both are almost same
3) How many goals Messi scores for barca than Ronaldo???????
For us Messi is the best player on the planet. He deserved the award , there is no question that Messi is much much better than that crying Portugese.
Undoubtably, Messi is an mazing player. Great with the ball and can come on the pitch at any time and uplift any team he plays for. whether it’s Barca or Argentina. He’s going to become one of the greatest if he stays in this kind of form and contnues to grow. Based on last year’s season Ronaldo is the most likely to win this. I hope he does. He was incredible for Man Utd. Maybe he hasn’t had quite the impact for country, but then again…How much did Kaka do for Brazil the year he won the award? Winning the Champion’s League, Premier League and scoring 42 goals on the way should guarantee CR with the award. He’s grown up a lot more from the flopping player he first was. He stays on his feet a lot more and has the goals to prove it. C Ronaldo…greatest player as of right now!
Who says Ronaldo is not good after having seen his last season escapade in premiership and champions league. C “WAHALA” deserves the award this year, Messi can get it some other time. watchers dont be biased, try and become analysts.
why are so many people crying for Ronaldo to win because he scored 42 goals in all competitions??? Ruud van Nistelrooy scored 45 in 2002-3 but where was he on the Ballon d’Or voting? Tied for thirteenth…
yess..i think that messi should get the award..he is one of the best players i must say..hes great with the ball and he knows how to play well..whats wrong with him being picked??
CR7 won the Ballon D’or. He was voted number 1 by 77 sports journalists, not by biased, stupid, ridiculous people like you whose judgements are influenced by jealousy or anything of the sort.
I agree messi is the best player in the world, but ronaldo fully deserves the award because of his consistency and what he achieved last season and as far as i know, this is what is taken into consideration when choosing the Ballon D’or and not who is the best player else messi should have won it in 2007 also and Ronaldinho in 2004 and 2006 apart from 2005….

With due respect to Ronaldo( but very little reverence for his conduct in the field) almost all soccer lovers through the globe, leaving not a single thread of doubt , choose Messi for the award. He is an indommitable footballer with charismatic skill and thus will reign the most popular game for about a half decade, if not for a decade.
It won’t be hyperbolic to claim that he is the only hope for Argentina to lift The FIFIA World Cup, after a very long time since 1986, heralding a new era of Argentine football, succeeding Great Maradona.
