Champions League winner and European top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo is confident about winning the prestigious French award, the Ballon d’Or.

“I don’t see any rival. I feel pretty relaxed,” Ronaldo was quoted as saying. The Manchester United Star, indeed, has won everything a player could wish for in club competition.

Torres and Messi who both finished last season being cupless are hot contenders for the title. However, popular votes show Cristiano Ronaldo has the clear winner by large margin.

The Portuguese Star, widely regarded as the king of soccer for the 2007/08 season in Italy, is part of the list of 30 players nominated for the Ballon d’Or that will officially be handed out on December 2nd.
