In "France Football" have published an article, in the last hours, with which ask if Leo Messi is or no one of the firm candidates to conquer this year the Balloon of Gold 2016, and in which they finish answering to himself same ensuring that yes, because of the last big performances of the Argentinian star of the FC Barcelona this season 2016-17.

The French newspaper recognises that after the titles of UEFA Euro 2016 and Champions League won by Cristiano Ronaldo the past season seemed that the Portuguese had already ensured the award, but the abysmal first third of campaign that is completing the player of the Real Madrid, joined to the good performances of Messi, have gone back to plant the equality in the fight by the prize.

And it does upsetting in that the battle between both by the Balloon of Gold 2016 will last, probably, until the next 25 November. "The two players know that they still have to impress of here to 25 November, when it closes the scrutiny", can read in the magazine.

It is not casualidad that, in all the surveys of all the typologies, Lionel Messi was the clear favourite to conquer the Balloon of Gold 2016 by in front of Cristiano Ronaldo, the one who before it gave beginning the season was without place to doubts the main bet of the fans.

It suffices with seeing the results of the surveys in the last weeks: Messi reigned in "ACE" (70-20%), "Mark" (58-26%) and also surpassed to "CR7" in "France Football" (28-21%), although in this last survey his distance regarding the luso diminished with the step of the hours.
