Paul Pogba: “Cristiano Ronaldo Winning the Ballon d’Or Is Logical for Everyone”
French international Paul Pogba has made his stance clear regarding the 2014 FIFA Ballon d’Or: for him, it can only be Cristiano Ronaldo. The Juventus midfielder, widely seen as one of the most promising talents in world football, firmly believes the Portuguese superstar deserves to retain the crown.
“For me, it’s going to be him,” Pogba said when asked about his pick for the prestigious award. When pressed further on whether Ronaldo winning would be a logical outcome, the Frenchman replied:
“Yes, it’s logical — but it’s logical for everyone, right?”
Pogba’s endorsement adds to a growing list of figures in the football world backing Ronaldo. Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti previously stated that not awarding the Ballon d’Or to Cristiano would be a clear injustice, citing his phenomenal year with Real Madrid, which included a Champions League triumph, La Décima, and a staggering number of goals.
As the Ballon d’Or decision nears, Ronaldo appears to be the overwhelming favorite—not just among fans and media, but among his peers as well.
