CR7

Yes, it’s soccer but it might also be poker. On Monday, FIFA announced that Lionel Messi , Cristiano Ronaldo -po- and Neymar will be fighting for the title. In other words Messi will be competing against PokerStars’ most representatives SportStars.

The Argentinian is the favorite. The Brazilian and Portuguese will have a rough time trying to take the title away from Messi who has won it all with Barcelona this season. «La Pulga» won the Spanish Primera, the Champions League, the Copa del Rey, and two supercups.

Neymar Jr

Altough Messi is looking for his fifth Golden Ball (he already won it in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012), CR7 is the defending champion. The Real Madrid player is not having his best season and it unlikely that he will win his third title (the first one was in 2008 with Manchester United). This is the eight times in nine seasons that Messi and the portuguese are finalists.

If Leo doesn’t win the title, Neymar is the clear favorite. The 23 year-old Brazilian has played 71 matches with 45 goals and five titles in his first two and a half years in Europe.
