Paul Pogba is determined to win the FIFA Ballon d'Or at some stage
in the future and pip Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo to the trophy
Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba dreams of closing the gap with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo at some stage in the future and beat them to the FIFA Ballon d'Or.
The
France international had to settle for 15th place at this year's
edition of the prestigious individual award as Messi took home the
trophy for the fifth year in his career.
Nevertheless, Pogba is hopeful he will add his name to the list of winners at some point as well.
"I
feel fortunate to be here in Zurich for this award show. I hope to be
able to win the Ballon d'Or myself one day, but I still have a long way
to go," Pogba told reporters.
"Maybe one
day I can be among the three finalists. My biggest goal is to win the
Ballon d'Or, but there are a lot of other candidates.
"I used to be watching Messi and Ronaldo on TV and played with them on the Playstation. Now I am close to them.
"But my objective is not just to be close to them. I want to be better than them one day.
"It is all about putting in the work. I have to keep working hard and maybe I will get there."
