Ahead of next week’s FIFA The Best Award ceremony, We finally know Cristiano Ronaldo made the podium to get this award with two other stars.
Cristiano Ronaldo keeps getting recognition for his many exploits in football despite being 36 years old. We would have to look hard for the last time this podium was filled with so much experience playing at the highest level. Even though Ronaldo might not be the favorite to win the award this year, it’s still impressive how he’s maintained himself at the very top for these many years.
Throughout 2020, there’s little debate to who has been the best player overall. Cristiano Ronaldo shares the podium this year with Lionel Messi and Robert Lewandowski. The Polish striker has been in the best form of his career and he is the overwhelming favorite to win the award this year. Messi did get great stats last season as well, but he simply made the podium for his level of performance.
Does Ronaldo have a shot to win?
If we look at the numbers without taking the collective accolades into account, Cristiano Ronaldo seems like he has a chance to win the award. However, this might be the first time in a while where the most valuable player isn’t Messi or Cristiano. The vast majority of voters might opt to choose the Bayern Munich star after his incredible year.
Regardless of who wins this award, Cristiano is still one of the most relevant players in the world despite his age. During the current season, he is still delivering solid performances like last week’s against FC Barcelona. Camp Nou Stadium will never forget they suffered a player who made this pitch his personal garden for many years.
