Real Madrid boss Mourinho: Ballon d’Or cannot go to Iniesta

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Mon, 09/06/2010 - 06:59

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho says Barcelona star Andres Iniesta does not deserve this year's Ballon d'Or.

Iniesta is among the favourites for his performance in Spain's World Cup triumph.

But Mourinho says: "You cannot give it to Iniesta, because although he scored the most important goal of the year, for the rest of the season he was injured. Nor Diego Forlan because, although he had a good World Cup and has won the Europa League, Atletico Madrid were eliminated from the Champions League.

"Wesley Sneijder (Inter Milan) deserves it, he has won everything, has always been crucial and has played in the World Cup final, behind him should be Xavi."

I, for once, agree with Mourinho. Iniesta doesn't deserve it.
