Xavi has shared his views on the award of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo during his great career, Belon D’Or never winning his views.
Zavi enjoyed a stunning magic in Barcelona, where he was a part of the club’s golden age under Pep Guardiola.
Catalan was dominated by veteran European football and his ranks had the choice of Messi, Andres Iniesta and Carls Puol.
Xavi formed a famous midfield partnership with Intasta and Sergio Busquets.
Despite his on -field success, Xavi never won Bellon D’Or – but he never existed Messi or Ronaldo.
Messi rewarded him for the award in every year he was in controversy for the prestigious personal award.
And he was behind Ronaldo in two out of three years.
But Zavi does not consider himself a better footballer than Messi or Ronaldo, who won a joint 13 Bellon D’ORS among them.
He said, “I do not consider myself a better footballer than Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, the winners of Bellon D’Or in those years, not,” In form of“I was a playmaker, but I did not have the ability to set a match on my own. I am proud to end the third three times (his best finish in 2009, 2010 and 2011), even though a bronze ball has not been officially honored.
“It’s ashamed, I love to give France football to display Football in my museum! (Laughing.) That photo with my friends is historical, incredible. For me, it is a victory of a philosophy, our style and a unique belief of our heritage.”
