Balon d'Or 2011
Nominees Announced!!!!
Cristiano Ronaldo, Xavi Hernandez and Lionel Messi!!!
Ronaldo, Xavi and Messi are the newly announced nominees to win this year's Balon d'Or. It is like 2009 all over again. In 2009, these three players were the ones nominated for the award as well, and Lionel Messi took the award home. Ronaldo came in second, while Xavi came up third.
Last year, Messi, Xavi and their Barcelona teammate, Andres Iniesta, were nominated for the Balon d'Or 2010. Once again, Lionel Messi took the award home; followed by Iniesta and Xavi in the votes.
This year, Messi has the chance to win the award 3 years in a row, and while I think it would be amazing, I really wish he will not win it. I REALLY want Xavi to win it!!! Messi is 24 and he has plenty of years to win it again, but Xavi is 31 and in my opinion, the best player in the world. Without Xavi, Messi wouldn't be the player he is. So, hopefully the people voting, will realize this, and vote for Xavi:)
