Manchester United and Portugal superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has done enough to win the Ballon d'Or, according to his agent.
Ronaldo was one of the 30 nominees announced by France Football last week as he looks to add a sixth Ballon d'Or title to his trophy cabinet.
The forward's agent Jorge Mendes says the 36-year-old's numbers last season suggest he deserved the award, which he last won in 2017.
"The numbers do the talking and they should be enough," Mendes told France Football.
"He scored 115 goals for Portugal, becoming the world record holder with the national teams. He is the best scorer in the history of football.
"It is a decisive thing and means he must win the trophy because he continues to prove that he is the best player in history…
"Do not forget that Cristiano was the top scorer in Serie A, he was the top scorer in the last European championships, he has the record for the most goals in the Champions League and is the only player to have won everything in three different and very competitive countries like Italy, Spain and England.
"All of this together makes him absolutely unique. From my point of view, the Golden Ball has only one name: Cristiano Ronaldo.
"He's never deserved it more than this year."
