FIFA Ballon d'Or 2016 for Cristiano Ronaldo?

On the 10th of June the race of the best footballers in the nomination for the Golden Ball virtually ended. Winning the final of the Euro 2016 after a triumph in the Champions League, Cristiano Ronaldo is a 100 percent favorite.

Despite performance in the final was simply symbolical and ended on the 25 minute due to an injury, his input into the final success is hard to be estimated. Everybody remembers his behavior at the coach pit when he took the role of Fernando Santos’s assistant by motivating his colleagues, the strengths of which were sinking with every minute of the game. In general, Cristiano is a specific player if to talk about finals. A month earlier in the final of the Champions League he was also virtually unnoticeable for 120 minutes in order to then score the decisive penalty that brought 11th title to the Galacticos.

The odds at BetVictor bookmaker for the final triumph of the Portuguese are only 1/6 (1,16) and for a long time the advantage of one footballer over others has not been so great. It is hard to imagine what Lionel Messi, Antoine Griezmann or Luis Suarez have to do within the following months in order to overcome CR7. Namely here some see imperfections of the system setting awards for the best footballer of the world. The jury usually estimates higher successes and achievements of a team, not the real statistics of a certain player. This year, however, there will not be such problems, since the first and the second indexes point to the benefit of Cristiano Ronaldo.
