The former Manchester United player has voiced his opinion regarding the coveted prize, backing his Argentine teammate to reclaim it once again.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 is the best player in the world and therefore he is the most likely candidate to win this year’s Ballon d’Or.
Pique stated that the Barca number 10 has shown great skill and ability on the field, and is simply superior to his competitors in the modern game.
The Argentine skipper has already won the prestigious accolade three times in a row, becoming only the fourth player in the history of football to do so.
The prolific striker is believed by many to be the greatest player in the world at the moment.
Considering individual performances, Messi has indeed managed to outdo every other athlete in the modern game. The footballer is clearly a notch above others as his personal exploits outnumber a dominant majority of professionals.
Regardless of the fact that Barca were not as impressive as they were in the 2010-2011 campaign, their star player has shown no signs of stopping. Even when his club failed to triumph over both the UEFA Champions League and the Spanish La Liga, the Rosario
native went on to break several individual records.
The recently passed season saw the Argentine become the highest scorer in the history of Europe as he found the net a total of 73 times. The footballer also became the highest goal scorer in the history of La Blaugrana.
Hence, given his remarkable impact on the game, Pique has rated Messi as the favourite to land the FIFA Ballon d’Or once again.
While talking to reporters, the World Cup winner was quoted as saying:
"It’s difficult to guess who will win the Ballon d'Or this year, but in my opinion, Messi is the best player in the world. Barca’s objective is to win, without a doubt. We’re going to fight to win each match, and we’ll try to play beautiful football. Tito
[Vilanova], who has been with us as the assistant coach for a long time, will manage the team with the same philosophy." 
Recently, La Pulga was sidelined following an injury he suffered during training. The forward is likely to make a return when Barcelona take on Raga during a pre-season friendly.
