Cristiano Ronaldo's greatest ambition is to retire having won the Ballon d'Or more times than his long-time rival Lionel Messi.
This is according to the chief of the award Pascal Ferre, who hands out the award every year.
Ronaldo is a five-time Ballon d'Or winner and has been nominated the most with a record 17 times but remains one behind Messi.
The Argentine is tipped to be the frontrunner for this year's award, which would take his tally to seven, but Ferre revealed Ronaldo is desperate to one up Messi.
