Cristiano Ronaldo realizes what's coming: 'I think [Leo] Messi is going to win this year in light of the fact that this sort of trophy relies on upon votes,' he told Jonathan Ross in a meeting last November.
Messi will win his fifth Ballon D'Or one week from now and Ronaldo has acknowledged that. What he might at present need to get his head around is the real trick that he won't not come next either.
Neymar won the treble a year ago scoring 45 objectives. Ronaldo scored 57 however in trophy terms they meant nothing.
Cristiano Ronaldo has won the past two Ballon d'Ors but may have to make do with third place this time
The Real Madrid man has accepted that his Barcelona rival Lionel Messi is likely to win the contest
Neymar could make it a Barcelona one-two following an outstanding 2015 for Barcelona
It was the Brazilian who scored the third objective in Berlin as Barcelona beat Juventus in the Champions League last, it was Neymar who tormented Athletic Bilbao as Barca won the Copa del Rey and it was Neymar whose 22 association objectives offered Barcelona some assistance with winning La Liga. He should be second.
Voter devotion may keep Ronaldo in the main two positions however regardless of the fact that it does there is an inclination that after three Golden Balls the colossal man could even be showing up on the Zurich stage for the last time.
2016 is an European Championship year and if Portugal do and also they did two years back in Brazil their competition will be a short one.
That will deny Ronaldo of an expansive piece of the superbness up for snatches in the following 12 months leaving the route clear for an Antoine Griezmann, a Kevin De Bruyne or a Gareth Bale to take a walk.
Ronaldo and Messi have been the main contenders for the world's best player accolade for many years
Though Ronaldo was Europe's leading goalscorer last year, he failed to win a trophy

Add that to the nearly ensured vicinity of Neymar and Messi – the last who is three years more youthful than Ronaldo and he will have his work removed making the decoration places.
There is an average contention for his place in the main three this year being difficult to legitimize.
Luis Suarez' 2015 was minimal shy of shocking. He scored 16 association objectives and said something with 14 helps as Barca won the group much gratitude to his execution in the second Clasico of the season.
He scored the essential second objective in the Champions League last and was player of the competition as they won the Fifa Club World Cup. Ronaldo top scored in Europe yet the Golden Boot is the prize for objectives.
He arrives, on the other hand. What's more, his aura as he doesn't win will interest to observer.
Luis Suarez scored Barcelona's crucial second goal in the Champions League final - but wasn't shortlisted
He has squirmed in the past when his adversary has the better of him and it has even been recommended he won't not appear, knowing he is most likely not going to win. Be that as it may, he has changed.
A standout amongst the most uncovering scenes of Ronaldo the film, discharged a year ago came at the Zurich occasion last January when Messi seemed pretty much as Ronaldo was holding up to be given the honor.
As he tells Messi that his child is a fan yet that now he is timid it's Ronaldo the Dad at his generally normal. For the current year there will be no cry of Siiiiiii! Simply obliging praise as Messi wins.
On the off chance that he does complete third and in the event that he does see that as a sign that he is sliding down the stepping stool and gradually off the lattice will it impact the huge choice he needs to make toward the end of the season?
He knows the club will offer him in the event that they find the opportunity. He additionally knows he is on an agreement that does not end until 2018.

He could stay at the club for two more seasons and afterward go to play in the US matured 33. On the other hand he could go this mid year matured 31 making one more European stop – most presumably at Paris Saint Germain – before changing to MLS.
In the event that he stays he will never again be the fundamental hero as the more youthful Bale and James Rodriguez are given expanding power in the group by new mentor Zinedine Zidane.
In the event that he goes to Paris he will at the end of the day be the alpha male. He will score the group's objectives and on the off chance that he could help the French side win their first ever Champions League it would by and by put him on the Ballon d'Or stage.
