Cristiano Ronaldo favoured to win his 4th FIFA award as world’s best

Cristiano Ronaldo is favoured to beat Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann when winners of the Best FIFA Football Awards are presented in Zurich.

It's obvious .... right?

beauty contest still... :(

I really like how the new trophy looks :)

A bit cringe.

When you see "best" on that trophy

So, were gonna have two best footballer in the world trophy now? The ballon d'or and this? And they are going give both to the same guys 90% of the time? Ok....

True lol, it makes zero sense :D. Why not just give one trophy to Messi, one to Ronaldo and 3rd one for someone else

True, and that actually looks a bit like the world cup in terms of the shape.

Quikzyy: thanks

Ramos voted for Messi as 2nd and Iniesta as 3rd. Modric voted for Messi as 2nd.

Real Madrid players continue to keep it classy with the Barca players. Guys like Pique, Alves, and Alba should learn a thing or two...

@Dynastian Lol, I know, but I think that in a way, it show that most of the invidiual in RM have their own opinion on thing, while Barcelona is a bit more united group for obvious reason (lots of the team member knew each other since a while). I'm not saying I'm for it or that I dislike it, in the contrary, I think it prove that different indivudual who don't all share the same opinion or ambition can still succeed together if they work hard. Sorry if what I'm saying sound a bit confuse, I have a hard expressing myself on the topic it seem. :(
Anyway, when it come down to club and team-mate from the national team, Ramos has alway been very classy in my opinion. When it come down to other nation... Not so much. :P

For Info, he posted that pic after the Spain national basket team eliminated the French National basket team in Euro 2015, his shirt say goodbye in french. XD

Yeah Real Madrid players so classy.

When Ronaldo showed his UCL finals emblem to a relegated Rayo Vallecano
or when Pepe showed the middle finger to Barcelona fans
or when Ramos made a tackle that could end Messi's career
or and it keeps going.

What is that fetish with Barcelona players and their ethics? Just because they stomped you over the years don't find female excuses to downgrade them.

Or when Alves dove to get Pepe sent off and essentially end our UCL campaign in 2011
Or when Busquets play-acted and got Motta sent off in an attempt to win the second-leg against Mourinho's Inter
Or when Messi blasted a ball right at the Real Madrid crowd
Or when Pique mocked Ronaldo's birthday party as being the decisive turning point in the title run
...I could go on forever.

I'm not saying our players are perfect, but over the course of the past 10 years, RM players have been more classy than Barcelona players off the pitch.

Additionally, let's not be sexist here.

@Dynastian Well, to be fair, RM and Barcelona player are all different from each other, some are more classy than other. But I will never blame a Real Madrid fan for being angry at Pique for exemple, this guy literaly hate Real Madrid with all his heart. Also, Barca fan are nearly alway voting for each other situation of ballon d'or. I think its okay, but to be fair, I agree it was a great show of respect from Ramos and Ramos to pick player from the opposing side.

@JozeMourinho A chelsea fan defending Barca? Thats rare. You don't like Real Madrid Joze?

@Emo

No, he just doesn't like me. He's just trying to wind me up into saying something that he can use against me later. LOL.

Madrid players are classy ? Lol what else ?
No Madrid player has ever voted for Messi for any contest.

Or when Marca, As tries to write Messi departure rumors before each Clasico
Or when Liga president Tebas is a big Madrid fan and do not hide it
Or when Ramos imitates Messi celebration to mock him
Or when Madrid were the dirtiest team and played coward tactics under Mou to escape from another 5-0
Or when Perez bid on every Barca signing target to higher the price and going for another player.
Or when Madrid players never got judged by Madrid justice while Barca players get exposed in key moments of the year
Or when Barca got banned from transfer while Madrid got their ban reduced in demand of Tebas to FIFA
Or when Simeone says Madrid getting only 1 league in 8 years, it will be complicated to compete with them because of refreing issues
Or when Ronaldo reacts to Barca players claiming Messi is better when Messi doesn't give a fuc* about Madrid players and coaches doing the same.
Or when Ronaldo always have a looser atitude while not winning BO, and claim being the best each time he is awarded
Or how Madrid dive and cry for a penalty at home each time they are not winning

Its easy to play this sort of games...
