In order to claim yet another individual award, the Portuguese striker will no doubt aim to beat Juventus in the Champions League final in Cardiff, on the 3rd of June.
Nevertheless, the Madrid man has assured that his mind is far from the prospect of levelling with Messi by winning the prestigious Ballon d'Or for the fifth time.
'When you play well, when you score and your team wins, it obviously helps to win individual trophies. But I am not worried about that, because I want to help my teammates', Cristiano Ronaldo said after the victory over Malaga which allowed them to win La Liga for the 33rd time.
This year, only Gianluigi Buffon looks capable of stopping Ronaldo from being voted the best player in the world. It all depends on the Champions League final.
