Ronaldo, Ribery, Messi shortlisted
Print Edition
Lionel Messi, Franck Ribery and Cristiano Ronaldo were yesterday shortlisted for this year’s Ballon d’Or, football’s world governing body FIFA and sponsor France Football magazine said.
Barcelona forward Messi has already won the title four times but seems less of a hot favorite this year after an injury-plagued season. French winger Ribery was part of a Bayern Munich team that claimed an unprecedented treble of Champions League, German title and German Cup, as well as the European Supercup. Real Madrid’s Portugal striker Ronaldo won the 2008 Ballon d’Or and has been tipped to win the award this time around. The Ballon d’Or will be presented in Zurich on January 13. Ribery’s former Bayern coach Jupp Heynckes is up against ex-Manchester United supremo Alex Ferguson and Jurgen Klopp (Borussia Dortmund) in the male coach of the year nominees.
