The international fans bet by Messi for the Balloon of Gold

It is not casualidad that, in all the surveys of all the typologies, Lionel Messi was the clear favourite to conquer this year 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, after it had achieved the titles of UEFA Euro 2016 and Champions League.

But it can not live of the past, and much less of some tournaments in which Cristiano Ronaldo hardly was notable to individual level. Thus, the excelso been so that it crosses the Argentinian star of the FC Barcelona, joined to the ridiculous situation of the Portuguese of the Real Madrid, has caused that the returns have changed and have given an unexpected twist.

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

For the moment, the public opinion is of the side of Leo Messi. Now it will be missing to know if this thought generalised also is collected by the 211 journalists commissioned to vote in the prize, and that they will be after all those who dictaminen the winner. There will be cat shut or "black hand" in the votes? It does not know , but what is clear is that Messi will generate nightmares to Christian until the last day.
