Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has declared Cristiano Ronaldo will win the Ballon d'Or ahead of Lionel Messi.The Portugal star, who won The Best FIFA Men's Player award for the second time last month, is one of the clear favourites for France Football's prize after firing Madrid to LaLiga and Champions League glory this year.There had been rumours Barcelona forward Messi will be named the winner on December 7 after images claiming to show him with the trophy on the front cover of the magazine circulated on social media.However, reports in Spain this weekend suggest Ronaldo has been informed he will win the trophy for a fifth time and has been congratulated by Messi on his achievement.And Perez appears to have no doubt the 32-year-old will be successful when the outcome of the vote is announced."Ronaldo is one of our great symbols," he told an assembly of Madrid members. "He is the leading goalscorer in our history. A few days ago, he won his second 'The Best' and this week he is going to win his fifth Ballon d'Or."
