The Spanish midfielder believes that Real Madrid have accomplished a lot last season and one of their player deserves to win the Ballon d’Or.
Real Madrid were able to break Barcelona’s dominance in Spain last season. The Spanish giants won the Spanish La Liga with a good margin, hence snatching the Spanish title away from La Blaugrana.
The title was won with great help from the Portuguese skipper, Cristiano Ronaldo. The former Manchester United star was able to perform phenomenally throughout the season, scoring more than 50 goals in the process.
The only player who has managed to score more goals than Ronaldo is the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 striker, Lionel Messi. Even though the Argentinean scored the highest number of goals in Europe, his side only managed to win the Copa del Rey, as they got knocked out of the UEFA Champions League and the Spanish La Liga.
After the season ended, Messi went to rest in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841 while Ronaldo and other European players joined their respective national teams in the Euro 2012.
While Ronaldo helped his side qualify for the semi-final stage of the Euro 2012, it was http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Iker-Casillas-c16815 who helped Spain win it.
With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 winning the Euro 2012, Iker Casillas has become a favourite to win the Ballon d’Or award.
As http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Esteban-Granero-c12919 believes that the individual honour should go to the Santiago Bernabeu this season.
Even though Messi is considered to be a favourite to land the prestigious award, the Spanish midfielder believes that Real Madrid and its players have accomplished enough in a single season to land this award as well.
While speaking to the press, Granero said:
"The title we achieved will be [hard to beat] for a long time. We made a record of almost insurmountable points and goals," Granero was quoted as saying in a press conference on Saturday.
"Real Madrid is the team to beat and will be for many years. Last season was flawless. Real Madrid were far superior to the others breaking all records.
"I just hope that the Ballon D'Or [would be] for one of our players."
Currently http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 are considered to be the only two contenders to win the Ballon d’Or award for this season.
