Traditionally categorically opposed to the Madrid Real Madrid Pique this time did not deny that the season ended best of all, Real Madrid striker Cristiano Ronaldo.
"Ronaldo won the Champions League and the championship of Spain, because in the fight for the Golden Ball, he is the favorite".
"Messi has long been recognized as the best football player in history, and therefore he will undoubtedly qualify for this award. There are other candidates. Let's see how things turn out, "said Pique.
