Juventus forward, Cristiano Ronaldo has insisted that he deserves to win more Ballon d’ Or than Barcelona’s Lionel Messi.
The Portuguese captain believes he deserves more of the world top individual prizes ahead of Messi after establishing himself as one of the greatest players of all time.
Speaking to Piers Morgan in an interview on ITV, the 34-year-old said:
