Messi the only candidate for the Ballon d'Or - Iniesta

The Spain international believes his team-mate is
by far the best player in the world and claims
Barcelona boast the finest attacking trio in the
game
Andres Iniesta claims Barcelona team-mate Lionel
Messi is the only possible choice of the 2014 Fifa
Ballon d'Or.
Messi, a four-time winner of football's most
prestigious individual prize, is in the running for
the latest edition of the trophy - to be handed out
on January 12 - alongside Real Madrid attacker
Cristiano Ronaldo and Bayern Munich goalkeeper
Manuel Neuer.
Despite current holder Ronaldo remaining the
favourite ahead of the ceremony in January,
Iniesta believes there is only one worthy winner.
"For me, the only candidate I see is Leo," he
told Marca . "Everyone has their opinion and they
are free to express it.
"The Ballon d'Or is not decided by titles but by a
vote of people who believe a player deserves it
because they are the best. For me, the number
one is Leo. Today and always."
Iniesta is also confident that Barca boast the finest
attacking line-up in world football in Messi, Luis
Suarez and Brazil star Neymar.
"I think that the names we have are the best
strikers. There can be nothing negative said when
you talk about Leo, Ney and Luis," he added.
