In an interview with BeIN Sports, the Frenchmansaid the award should be won by a member of the German national team that won the World Cup in Brazil this summer. “The Ballon d’Or usually goes to a player who has performed exceptionallywell at the World Cup, someone who won it, so this year that should be a German player,” the Frenchman said. However, he later conceded that there is no one in the world who can match eitherMessi or Ronaldo. “Nobody can argue with that,” he said.
