Cristiano Ronaldo may have the edge in this year's Ballon d'Or race given the trophies he has won, according to former Barcelona star Xavi.
The Real Madrid forward is expected to be at least among the final three nominees to defend the trophy he last won in 2014, having fired his side to Champions League glory before captaining Portugal to a shock triumph at Euro 2016.
Xavi said, "Cristiano has the numbers to win this year's Ballon d'Or, having won the Champions League and the Euros. But I also think that it'll be very competitive, because Messi will be there, of course."
