Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo has said that it is "more likely" that a Barcelona player will win the Ballon d'Or this year but added that had Manchester United won the UEFA Champions League, it would probably be going to one of their players.
Barcelona captured the European crown with a 2-0 victory over the Red Devils in Rome, Ronaldo's last official game before joining Real Madrid in a world record summer transfer.
"In winning the Champions League, it is more likely that a player from Barca will win the Ballon d'Or. If Manchester [United] had won the title they'd probably give it to one of United's [players]. Right now [Andres] Iniesta, Xavi and [Lionel] Messi are playing well," he was quoted as saying by AS.
The Portuguese star also indicated that a return to first team action is not that far away after missing the last four games for Los Merengues due to an ankle injury.
"I'm better than ever physically. I will be careful with this injury but I'll be playing very soon," he declared.
