Di Maria jokes Ronaldo, Messi should have another Ballon d'Or so others may win too

Per ANI News
London, Feb 10 (ANI): Manchester United's star winger Angel Di Maria has joked that Portugal football team captain Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentina football team skipper Lionel Messi should have their own Ballon d'Or award so that other players have a chance of winning the top honour.
The last seven awards have been won by the duo, with Di Maria's countryman Messi claiming four and former Real Madrid teammate, and current holder, Ronaldo bagging three.
Kaka was the last player to win the award outside of the big two when he claimed the Ballon d'Or after inspiring AC Milan to Champions League glory in 2007, The Mirror reported.
Di Maria, who is one of the only players in world football to have played with both players on a regular basis, claims that he never gets bored of comparing Ronaldo and Messi consistently.
Di Maria said that he doesn't tire of comparing them, because he always says the same thing that they're two completely different players.


The star winger said that Messi features in every game, making short bursts and nonchalantly dribbling past one, two or three players with great ball control in tight spaces.
Di Maria added that Ronaldo is more about power, long range shots; insisting that the two are different.
Di Maria said that if he were FIFA, he would have two Ballon d'Or prizes, one for that pair to fight over, and another for everyone else. (ANI)

But he did, and they were, and that summer the then-24-year-old goalkeeper joined Saint-Etienne, rebuffing Manchester City in the progress. This season he played all 38 Ligue 1 matches for Les Verts for a second season in succession, conceding just 32 goals as his side finished a surprising fifth in the standings and qualified for the Europa League. 24. Pepe Reina, Liverpool Only Joe Hart kept more Premier League clean sheets than Pepe Reina in 2012-13. In a season that saw Liverpool finish a disappointing seventh in the English top-flight, the 30-year-old managed to keep things respectable from a defensive standpoint, conceding only 34 goals and stopping 88 per cent of the shots he faced. To finish the season he conceded just a single goal in his last four matches. 23. Mariano Andujar, Catania Only Parma managed ...
