Speaking of his favourites (via MARCA), the Los Blancos defenders said, "Looking at the level of the players, you could give the Ballon d'Or to Messi, Cris or Luka, all of them would be just winners"
"When it was given to Messi it could also have been given to Andres Iniesta or Xavi and so I would give it to Modric"
Earlier this year, Ramos was named in FIFA's best Xl, equaling Andres Iniesta as the Spanish player who has achieved the feat most times.
The defender also spoke about Messi and Ronaldo's absence from the FIFA gala saying, "I consider Cris and Messi to be the best and this awards ceremony deserves to have the best footballers. I would have liked to have seen Leo and Cris."
