When asked about his favorite to win the 2014 Ballon d'Or, Maradona categorically stated his own choice would be Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. "Not Messi, not CR7 for me, the Ballon d'Or should go to Neuer. There was more merit in what he did in 2014. I felt both Messi and Cristiano both took a rest during the year," He explained.
