Evra can't take it anymore: I'm sick of giving the Ballon d'Or to Messi

Patrice Evra has admitted that he is bored of watching Lionel Messi win the Ballon d'Or, with the current Paris Saint-Germain star having done so six times in his illustrious career.

The race for this year's Ballon d'Or seems more open than it has been for a long time, and Evra even named Chelsea duo N'Golo Kante and Jorginho as being more deserved winners than Messi.

"In my opinion this Ballon d'Or is for Kante or Jorginho... I'm sick of giving it to Messi," said Evra.

"What did he win last year? Okay, the Copa America [with Argentina]. With Barcelona, what did he do?"

Competing with Messi, Kante and Jorginho in the race for the Ballon d'Or are are the likes of Karim Benzema, Robert Lewandowski and Cristiano Ronaldo.
