Raphael Varane should win Ballon d’Or’ – Michel Platini

Former UEFA president Michel Platini would have ‘no doubts’ about voting for Raphael Varane to win this year’s Ballon d’Or award.

Platini cited how the central defender was the only player to win both the Champions League and World Cup in 2018, meaning he was the prime candidate for the prize.

“Varane is the only player who has won the Champions League and the World Cup this year,” Varane told reporters, as cited by Marca.

“Raphael is an excellent player who has enjoyed a superb year and I would have no doubts over the possibility of voting for him.

“Everything else is an opinion, and some might say Griezmann, Mbappe, Giroud, Lloris or Modric…but the only player who has tangibly won the most important trophies is Varane.

“This is similar to 2006 when Fabio Cannavaro, a defender, won the Ballon d’Or after lifting the World Cup.”
