Totti Backs Ronaldo To Win Ballon d’Or

The Roma and Italy legend has given his opinion on the FIFA Best Player awards and believes it will be another joyous night for Real Madrid

Francesco Totti has said that Cristiano Ronaldo deserves to win the Best FIFA Men’s Player award ahead of Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Paris Saint-Germain ace Neymar.
