Shocking! Xavi admits Ronaldo is better than Messi

 Xavi previously stated that Messi is better than Ronaldo

– However, the former Barcelona captain admits that Ronaldo will win Ballon d’Or

– The player speaks about the title

Former Barcelona captain Xavi  is sure that Cristiano Ronaldo may have the edge in this year’s Ballon d’Or race.

Recall that the Real Madrid will reportedly be at least among the final three nominees. He last won the trophy in 2014. This year Ronaldo fired his side to UEFA Champions League glory before captaining Portugal to victory at Euro 2016.

Last month former Barcelona star Xavi  said that anybody who likes football would consider Lionel Messi to be better than Ronaldo.

However, the 36-year-old has now admitted: “Cristiano has the numbers to win this year’s Ballon d’Or, having won the Champions League and the Euros. But I also think that it’ll be very competitive, because Messi will be there, of course.”
