Thomas Muller: Cristiano Ronaldo winning Ballon d'Or will almost be "boring"
World Cup winning superstar Thomas Muller said that Cristiano Ronaldo winning the Ballon d’Or will “almost be boring”. The Bayern Munich forward is also quite sure that Lionel Messi does not deserve to be on the shortlist for the Ballon d’Or.
“The idea of Ronaldo winning the award for a second consecutive year is almost boring,” Muller told Sky Sports. “Another player could have been chosen in Messi’s place. Arjen Robben, for example, has played exceptionally well. There are also others from the German national team who deserved to be there, while Neuer has to his advantage that he won the World Cup and produced some great performances.”
“Borussia Dortmund getting relegated would be incredibly momentous”
The German also spoke about Borussia Dortmund’s repeated failures in the Bundesliga, and their current situation as they lie 18th in the Bundesliga.
“At first I saw it as something positive but at the same time I know wish them every point. It would be something incredibly momentous for German football if they were to be relegated. These things show that in football anything is possible,” he added.
