Luis Suarez backs Lionel Messi for Ballon d'Or title ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo


Luis Suarez believes Lionel Messi should win this year's Ballon d'Or award
The Uruguay striker thinks Messi still has the edge over Cristiano Ronaldo
Many believe Ronaldo's Champions League and European Championship victories place him ahead of Messi but Suarez doesn't agree with that


Luis Suarez believes that Cristiano Ronaldo's trophy wins with Real Madrid and Portugal should not result in him taking the Ballon d'Or off Lionel Messi.

Messi won football's most prestigious individual honour last year, taking his Ballon d'Or count to five against Ronaldo's three. The Argentina international also scored 41 goals and assisted in all competitions last season as Barca retained their La Liga and the Copa del Rey titles.

However, Ronaldo netted the winning penalty as Madrid beat rivals Atletico Madrid to Champions League glory, before stepping up on and off the pitch for Portugal's shock Euro 2016 win.

Messi has won five Ballon d'Or titles throughout his career

Ronaldo has won three Ballon d'Or titles throughout his career


Luis Suarez believes that his team-mate Messi is 'the best player by far' and that he deserves the award again

The domestic violence case between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp is getting messier by the minute, and now they're dragging other people in the midst of their conflict. Depp apparently accused his wife of cheating on him with Billy Bob Thornton back in 2015, but the actor has completely denied all allegations. 'Our Brand Is Crisis' star Billy Bob Thornton has branded the suggestion that he slept with Amber Heard during the production of their latest movie 'London Fields' as 'completely false' according to reports from TMZ .
