The upcoming Champions League final is not only meant to be extremely important for Real Madrid and Juventus, but also the decisive place of the individual race.
Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo is currently the number one candidate for the 2017 Golden Ball. Meanwhile, Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon clings to the back, Marca said.
If Real won the final, Ronaldo would be 99% more likely to win the Golden Ball. Buffon, on the other hand, has a great chance of becoming the second goalkeeper in history after Lev Yashin won the most prestigious personal signification.
Individual races also attracted the attention of the two-team coachs. Buffon's mentor, Max Allegri, said: "I think Buffon deserves the Golden Ball regardless of the results of this year's finals. Actually he deserved it years ago, with Itlay as the 2006 World Cup winner".
Meanwhile, Real's coach, Zinedine Zidane, said: "Everyone has the right to think about what is expected, and people understand what I'm thinking".
Former Real striker Antonio Cassano supports compatriot Buffon instead of Ronaldo and old team. "I want Buffon and Juventus to win the Champions League final. He deserves the Golden Ball, but with the participation of Messi, the race always contains complexity".
