I’ll be sick if Messi wins the Ballon d’Or, says Patrice Evra. Who does he want to win?

According to the bookmakers, Lionel Messi is the favourite to win the Ballon d’Or. But the former French national team defender says Messi doesn’t deserve to win, saying he will be sick if the Argentine wins.

Patrice Evra, the former French national defender who played for Manchester United and Juventus, does not want the star Lionel Messi to win the Ballon d’Or this year.

”I’m sick of Messi being the favourite,” said Patrice Evra. ”In my opinion, N’Golo Kanté or Jorginho should win the Ballon d’Or this year, ” he added in a comment.

The Ballon d’Or ceremony will take place on November 29. Lionel Messi is currently the favourite to win the award. However, Patrice Evra believes that Kanté or Jorginho are more deserving of the award.

N’Golo Kanté was one of Chelsea’s most important players on their way to winning the Champions League. Jorginho won the Champions League with Chelsea and also won the EURO with his Italy side, where he was also one of the driving forces behind the team.

Messi won the Copa America with Argentina and the Spanish Cup with Barcelona. However, Evra believes that winning the Champions League means more than the achievements of the Argentine.

In second place, according to the bookmakers, will be the Polish striker Robert Lewandowski, who defends the colors of Bayern Munich. One of Evra’s favourites, Jorginho, is expected to finish third according to the bookmakers.
