The 36-year-old, who won the prestigious award back in 2005, is backing his former teammate Messi to lift the title for a record sixth time, and is happy the Argentine is playing international football with the Albiceleste once again.
"All the players have done a brilliant job, it is tough to choose," he told AS when asked who he thinks will win the next Ballon d'Or.
"Ok, I will be honest with you, I am backing Messi!
"I am delighted to see him happy. If he made the decision to come back to Argentina and he is happy so am I, because I am his friend."
The 29-year-old has made eight appearances for Barcelona so far this season, scoring eight goals and assisting a further five strikes.
