Milan's magnificent Brazilian duo Kaka and Ronaldinho believe Barcelona's Lionel Messi deserves the prestigious Ballon d'Or award ahead of Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo.The Argentine wizard is expected to be entangled in a feisty face off with the Portuguese ace as both players are desperate to get their hands on the Golden Ball.
Kaka won the award last term as he scooped up the World Player of the Year tag in the process.
Messi and Ronaldo are the clear favourites this time but Kaka and Ronaldinho believe the Barcelona man will edge Ronaldo.
"Messi deserves the Ballon d'Or," Kaka told La Gazzetta Dello Sport.
"He is an authentic world-class player. Cristiano Ronaldo also deserves to win but I can only see Messi as my successor.
"I admire his ability and the way he controls the football, he is the type of player you always want in your team."
Ronaldinho also had some words on his former team mate but he feels Kaka deserves it too.
"I would give the award to each of my friends. Therefore Kaka and Messi," 'Dinho said.
"My friends should be kept happy, so I suggest a double award. One each for Messi and Kaka."
With the race for the award so close, no-one really knows who will end up taking the prize.
Reports suggest Ronaldo will edge it for his brilliant season last term where he lead his side to the Premier League and Champions League trophies.
