The 32-year-old Portuguese, who won the Golden Ball in January, is the great favourite to be crowned the world's best football player for the fifth time after Madrid's triumph in La League and the Champions League in 2016-17.
Ronaldo and his champion Messi rival have shared the Golden Ball trophy every year since 2008, and another triumph for the former Manchester United's star would see him equalise the Barca star on the list of all time.
And Ronaldo admits that healthy competition among the world's best attackers, including Robert Leandowski and Bayern Munich and Gonzalo Hyguani of Juventu, is what inspires him to strive for success.
“To mention a player is difficult, but the level that I am is like in other sports: Formation 1, NBA ... best players always follow best players”, Ronaldo originally told ESPN.
They want to be at the top of the game because the others are there. You can't rest, because the others will pass you”, you'll be listening to Telegrafi.
Of course we fight with everyone, with Neymar, with Mess, Lewandowski, Higuiin, with the best players in the world, this is not a fight but it's a healthy competition. We fight to be the best”.
It's my motivation: to be better than them, year after year”, the Portuguese star Real Madrid concluded.
