The Spanish goalkeeper is a favourite to land the Ballon d’Or this season, and Ramos has backed his club and national team’s captain to win the prestigious award.
The Spanish defender recently hailed his club and national team’s captain as the best goalkeeper in the world and backed him to win the Ballon d’Or award as well.
This season there are quite a few contenders to win the prestigious award, and Iker Casillas is one of them.
It was only http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 before the Euro 2012 took place, but after the international football tournament ended, many started to believe that Casillas should win the individual honour.
Iker Casillas has helped Spain and Real Madrid reach dizzying heights in recent history.
First, the Spanish captain led his national team to a Euro triumph in 2008. Two years later, the Spanish shot-stopper was able to land the FIFA World Cup. And this season, the Spaniard has not only helped Real Madrid win the Spanish La Liga; in fact, he
has also helped the Spanish national team win the Euro.

Therefore, after managing to win two glorious titles in a single season, football purists believe that Casillas should land the Ballon d’Or this season.
While speaking about http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Ramos-c33096 stated:
"I don't know what to say about this topic as there's no clear criteria when it comes to awarding the Ballon d'Or. It would be fair to award it to a defender or goalkeeper. How can I not award it to Casillas?”
"Only one goalkeeper has won it before, and I would give it to Casillas because you can always count on him as a goalkeeper and as a captain. He's the best in the world."
Ramos did not only hail his club captain; in fact, he admitted that Ronaldo also had a phenomenal season. Speaking about the Portuguese skipper, Ramos said:
"But at the same time how am I not going to give it to Cristiano http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734? There is no one like him and he makes the difference."
Real Madrid have two Ballon d’Or candidates this season and one of them is expected to win as they both have won the Spanish La Liga.
