Ballon D'or 2013

Who wins 2013 Ballon D'or

Less than 24 hours from now we will all know who will be crowned the World Best Footballer for 2013...

Now who will wear the Crown, will it be Messi, Ronaldo or Ribery? 

Now lets see a little of their stats; courtsey Opta:

Messi:

Has been excellent to say the least, winning 4 straight Ballon d'or ain't no mean feat. We all can say he has brought a lot to the game as an individual, goal scoring is a feat that he keeps improving on every year.

He also is seen as "humble" no wonder Sepp Blatter comment late last year Lionel Messi is a good boy, that every Father and every mother would like to take home".. but some will say Blatter is a bit biased towards Messi.

Well even though Messi had a torn hamstring late in the year that ruled him out till end of 2013. He still has a chance to have the award for 5 years in a row.

Ronaldo:

To say Ronaldo has been Ballon d'or deprived is a small matter, ever since winning it while with Manchester United in 2009, it has eluded him, with the likes of Messi taking it home.

But one would say he stands a great chance this time around after single handedly taking his Country Portugal to the Brazil 2014 World cup thanks to his hat-trick against Ibra's Sweden and netting 66 goals in all competitions in the year under review...
Infact with his Musuem which he just opened in his birthplace Madeira- which has space for a Ballon d'or trophy; he might just get his desire.


Ribery:
Ribery also had a great year winning the treble with Bayern Munich, although losing out at the beginning of the season to arch rival Dortmund in the German Super Cup. That not withstanding he just got the Club world cup trophy and he is so good to go.

Ribery played an important part in his team's victory year round... though we know it was Robben who scored the winning goal in the UCL finals...but hey! give it to Ribery he had a great year.

So as the time draws near Zurich will be in for a sight come Monday the 13th of January 2014 where we all await to see who gets crowned...
