As the Ballon d’Or ceremony comes closer the air is thick with odious comparisons between Messi and Ronaldo.
Maradona has decided to vote for neither of the two front runners but instead is rooting for Manuel Neuer and says that Neuer’s safe hands are best suited to lift the coveted prize.
Maradona’s scoring abilities from both inside and outside the box are the stuff of legend.
So while all eyes are fixed on Messi and Ronaldo this is Maradona thinking outside the box …
“My favourite for the Ballon d’Or? Neither Messi, nor Ronaldo,” the Argentine legend told Radio Habana Cuba.
“For me, Neuer is the one who deserves it the most. I feel that Messi and Ronaldo have taken things a bit too relaxed in 2014.”
So there.
