Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo is firm favourite to win the Europe's biggest individual award for the fourth time which would equal Lionel Messi's record.

However Brazilian legend Ronaldinho thinks the Argentine should win it.

He said: "All the players have done a brilliant job, it is tough to choose.

“Ok, I will be honest with you, I am backing Messi!

“I am delighted to see him happy, if he made the decision to come back to Argentina and he is happy so am I, because I am his friend.”
