According to the radio program “El Partido de las 12,” Ronaldo has engaged in discussions with a prominent FIFA leader, and he is expected to be present alongside Lionel Messi and Franck Ribéry. Ronaldo’s recent impressive performances, including setting a new Champions League record for the most goals in the group stages, have strengthened his candidacy for the FIFA Ballon d’Or 2013.
