The former striker believes an iconic goalkeeper should see his efforts recognised, rather than Real Madrid's talisman being given another top prize
Gianluigi Buffon is “much more” deserving of the Ballon d’Or than Cristiano Ronaldo and Paulo Dybala is a future winner of the award, says Fabrizio Ravanelli.
Discussions regarding the destination of the 2017 prize have already begun, with Real Madrid talisman Ronaldo and eternal rival Lionel Messi of Barcelona once again among the leading contenders.
Juventus goalkeeper Buffon has, however, entered the debate on the back of his exploits at 39 years of age.
