Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi. That is the question. Until December 2 was not behind the big unknown. That day, the gala France Football magazine shall appoint the winner of the Ballon d', with the prize that distinguishes the best footballer of the year. And the Portuguese and Argentine striker leave as the main favorites of the list of 30 candidates ...

The debate is already on the street. And the players, of course, are not foreign to him. This is the case of mediapunta Milan Kaká, who has made it clear that if he could vote, to elect 10 of Barca.

Kaká assumes that Cristiano Ronaldo has more options because of their large individual performance-maximum-director of the Premier he joined his successes with Manchester United, with which this 2008 has won the English league and the Champions League.

Cristiano Ronaldo is my favorite. He has won two major titles with Manchester United, and has marked many goals

The Brazilian says in an interview published in France Football.

Despite this, Kaká believes that the struggle for the prize going to be very tough. "It is also Messi, who won the Olympic Games (with Argentina). And the players Spaniards who conquered the Championship with his selection." And cites the case of Torres, Villa, Casillas, Cesc and Xavi Barcelona. "To me, all these players are among the first."

But the undisputed number one, in the opinion of Kaká, is Leo Messi. While, if I could vote, the election is conducted among sports journalists, their vote would be for 10 of Barca.

She deserves it. It's the sort of player who especially appreciated. As Cristiano Ronaldo, he also dribla, mark, causing. Messi often done the show alone. If I could vote, would vote for him ... But I am not a journalist!

At two in the afternoon, with half an hour behind schedule, the small plane took off eight seats from El Prat Airport. For Leo, appearing tiring and rictus of pain for the injury suffered in Valencia, accompanied him were his father and his brother Jorge Rodrigo. The plane also went Txiki Begiristain and Albert Perrín addition to a team that conducted a Barca TV exclusive interview with the star of Rosario. Leo arrived in Zurich an hour and twenty minutes later. From the airport went directly to the Bernhard Theater in the Swiss town, the theater adjacent to the Opera House, to share a press conference with two other great player, Brazilian Kaka and Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo. Leo wore chándal and sneakers. An outfit which later changed by a black suit, tie and shoes well lustrosos.

It is very beautiful to be here
Surely this has been one of the happiest moments of my life. It means a lot to have been among the three best players in the world. It is a reward for all the hard times I spent over my career

There are many things that I remember, but above all I want dedicárselo my family and those who have always been at my side, in good times and bad

If compensates for the injury after having come into the show Cup?

Before the Valencia showed that the team is in a bad way and who knows how to play well and win with authority. I am absolutely convinced that without me the team will also be able to impose Real Madrid. We are not going to feel anything for the low

WINNING
of this I have no doubt the most minimal

Ronaldinho

It made me very strange not to see him in the Opera House because I believe that is still the number one in the world

His best memories of the year 2007 with the T-shirt Barca

Although not win, only empatamos, I was lucky enough to make the three goals from Barca in a very special and intense duel
