PARIS: Cristiano Ronaldo believes Barcelona play better soccer than his Real Madrid side and has tipped Lionel Messi to win the 2009 Ballon d'Or.
The Portugal winger, who joined Real Madrid from Manchester United for a world record 94 million euros ($138 million) in the close season, won the Ballon d'Or last year and was included in the 30-strong shortlist for the award, formerly known as the European Footballer of the Year, released on Sunday.
"Barcelona play better football (than Real), but why?" the 24-year-old told France Football magazine in an interview released yesterday.
