Inter front man Zlatan Ibrahimovic believes he is fully deserving of the Ballon D'Or award and that he has nothing less going for him than Ronaldinho or Kaká.
The favorites for this year's award are Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, but Inter president Massimo Moratti has stated many times that 'Ibra' would be just as deserving to win the coveted individual prize.
"I am certainly worthy of the Ballon D'Or," he told French newspaper L'Equipe. "I think that Kaká and Ronaldinho have nothing more than me. I'm at their level and would not look bad alongside them.
"Unfortunately, to win the Ballon D'Or you need to have won the Champions League, it is a necessary requirement."
On who he thinks should win the award this year, Ibra said: "I'd give it to Cristiano Ronaldo, although he did not play well at the Euros. If we were to focus entirely on Euro 2008, then the trophy should go to Iker Casillas."
