Cristiano Ronaldo has declared himself the greatest player of all time, but one of his former team-mates has a very different opinion on who holds that title

Cristiano Ronaldo's Ballon d'Or predictions highlight the subjective nature of the award. While his choices reflect his personal perspective on talent and potential, the ongoing debate surrounding his omissions demonstrates the diversity of opinions within football and the fierce competition for individual accolades.

Ancelotti suggested Mbappe could reach Ronaldo's heights after his hat-trick against Manchester City, but is that fanciful?

Kylian Mbappe has long admitted to idolising Cristiano Ronaldo, and is on course to perhaps one day rival the five-time Ballon d'Or winner's achievements.
