Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo has named five players that can stop him from claiming his sixth Ballon d'Or.

Ronaldo has won the last two Ballon d'Or awards after playing a pivotal role as Real Madrid ruled supreme in Europe.

After missing out on a third consecutive FIFA Best award, Ronaldo is still positive he can claim the Ballon d'Or following his achievements throughout the course of the year.

In an interview France Football, Ronaldo reiterated his desire to win the award to a record sixth time he, however, stated that it is not an obsession.

He stated in the interview that even if he does not win the individual award he has a place in history among the best to have ever to played the game.

He said, "I said many times, winning a sixth Ballon d'Or is not an obsession.

"And I do not ask the question in these terms. I already know, in my heart of hearts, that I am one of the best players in history.”

Asked if he deserves to win the Ballon D’or again, Ronaldo stated that his goals and contribution to big games this year should earn him the coveted award.

He said, "Of course I want to win, this sixth Ballon d'Or. It would be a lie to tell you the opposite.

"I work for that. As I work to score goals and win games without being an obsession.

"I think I deserve it."

Ronaldo then went on to list the player that could displace him as the best in the world and win the Ballon d'Or as he left out Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi from his list.
