Jardim Supports Ronaldo For Ballon d'or award

Jardim Backs Cristiano for Ballon D'Or

Leonardo Jardim shown his support for Cristiano Ronaldo in the Ballon d'Or race ahead of Monaco's meeting with Antoine Griezmann and Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.

The number one contender and current holder of the ballon d'or award Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to face strong competition from Atletico Madrid Star Man Antoine Griezmann and former Real Madrid team-mate Luka Modric for the precious award.

Former Sporting Lisbon Head Coach Jardim believes that Cristiano Ronaldo who opened his goal tally for his new club Juventus Fc on Sunday, scoring twice in a 2-1 victory over Sassuolo  should retain his crown as he has been the best within the season.

"I like Griezmann a lot, Modric too, but I'm Portuguese when I think of Ronaldo for the win," he told reporters in a pre-match news conference.
