Figo: Ronaldo's goals could win him third consecutive Ballon d'Or
The Portugal international has hit the net 53 goals for Real Madrid and Portugal in 2015 and his compatriot thinks those numbers could win him the prize
Luis Figo believes Cristiano Ronaldo will win the 2015 Fifa Ballon d'Or if the decision is based on goals, but a Barcelona player will prevail if trophies are the deciding factor.
The Portuguese forward has won the accolade for the past two years and is on the three-man shortlist once more, alongside four-time winner Lionel Messi and Neymar.
Former Barcelona and Real Madrid ace Figo believes any one of the trio could claim the trophy, but his compatriot's 53 goals for club and country will aid his bid.
"They are three magnificent players," Figo told EFE .
