"Manuel Neuer Should Win Ballon d’Or Ahead Of Messi And Ronaldo” – Maradona



Argentina legend Diego Maradona, has said that Manuel Neuer deserves to win the FIFA Ballon d'Or ahead of his compatriot Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Neuer will be hoping to become the first keeper since Lev Yashin in 1963 to win the Ballon d'Or.

Ronaldo is the hot favourite to retain the prize, but Maradona feels that the Bayern Munich goalkeeper had a great year and put in some fine performances.

"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."

The winner will be announced at the annual FIFA Gala in Zurich on January 12.
