Zlatan Ibrahimovic acknowledges he is a contender for the 2013 Ballon d’Or but recognizes that Cristiano Ronaldo and Frank Ribéry are often considered the favorites. Ribéry, in particular, has emphasized his claim for the prestigious award, highlighting his consistent performance throughout the year for both the national team and Bayern Munich, with the latter achieving historic success.
Despite Ibrahimovic’s outstanding performance with PSG against Olympiakos, securing a 2-1 victory and contributing with a goal, he remains confident in his abilities. In his view, winning the Ballon d’Or is not a necessity for validation. He asserts, “There are some for whom it’s important, for me it doesn’t matter. I don’t need this trophy to know that I’m the best!”
The debate over the Ballon d’Or winner continues, prompting discussions and polls to gauge public opinion on who deserves the prestigious accolade.
