Bayern Munich forward Thomas Muller has stated that it would be almost boring to see Portuguese international Cristiano Ronaldo winning the prestigious Ballon d'Or award yet again.

He said that it would be almost boring if Ronaldo retains the title, adding that the whole award has to be reconsidered in that case.

Muller believes individual titles are not so important to him as he sees himself as a team player. According to him, Neuer is a world champion and has been in sensational form. He further said that apart from the usual winners, other players like Arjen Robben and a few others from Germany would have deserved to win equally, the Mirror reported.

While Portugal international Ronaldo will be defending the award after winning it last year, Messi, on the other hand, will be aiming to win the honour for the fifth time.

Ronaldo scored 51 goals in the 2013-14 season, with helping Real Madrid to win the Champions League. Whereas, Messi has become the leading La Liga goal scorer last month, with also holding the Champions League goal scoring record.
