"Cristiano Ronaldo had a better year than Lionel Messi"

The former Real Madrid director of
football, Pedrag Mijatović, has spoken a
few words about the long awaited FIFA
Balon d'Or 2012 award, in an event
organized by the Spanish newspaper
"As". Ranked as the best football player
of Yugoslavia in 1997, "Pedja" has
revealed his preference for the
Portuguese and Real Madrid forward
Cristiano Ronaldo, over Barça's Lionel
Messi . Despite the Argentinian's
goalscoring record over this 2012 calendar
year (88 goals so far), Mijatović
downplayed the importance of such feat,
since it has only given Barcelona the
opportunity to win one Copa del Rey in
2012.
