Ronaldo admits Messi might win Ballon d’Or this year

Argentina could be without Carlos Tevez as well as Lionel Messi and Sergio Aguero for their crunch World Cup qualifier against Brazil on Thursday.

Dunga believes Brazil failed to take advantage of a tense atmosphere inside El Monumental in Friday’s 1-1 2018 World Cup qualifying draw against Argentina, but praised his side’s second-half showing. Brazil, who have four points from three matches, host Peru on November 17 while Argentina will head to Colombia seeking their first win.

When you watch Argentina vs. Brazil live stream you will see whether Martino’s assertions that Neymar is on the same level as Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are accurate.

“If we look at the ranking by numbers and statistics, Neymar is superior right now”, Brazil coach Dunga said.

Barcelona FC legend Ronaldinho Gaucho spoke exclusively to his former club’s official website and describe his feeling about the development of Messi, Iniesta and Ballon D’or prospects for Neymar. “He’s in great form”.

Brazil, fifth in the CONMEBOL table, can call upon Europe’s in-form player – Captain Neymar is ready to unleash his brand of flair and invention on an injury-hit Argentina.

However Martino insisted Argentina still had enough talent to compete with the Brazilians, brushing off suggestions his team would start as underdogs.

This is the “Superclásico”, arguably the biggest football matchup in the world, but by far the most important in South America.

“The bad weather made it impossible for the match to be played”.

“I think he can become the greatest player in the world, he’s a great player, a great friend and I hope everything goes really well for him”.

While Messi, who has netted just three goals this term, has been sidelined with a knee injury since late September, his rival Ronaldo has not been in the best of form in recent games. The team shockingly dropped its first game against Ecuador, 0-2, then settled for a goalless draw against Paraguay in their next match at the Estadio Defensores del Chaco in Asuncion. “We had a good win over Venezuela and we need to continue that”.
