The ex-Man United striker is surprised to see the iconic pair competing for the best player of the year award.
It’s Robert Lewandowski who deserves the prize the most.
“I’m surprised Ronaldo and Messi are among finalists for the Fifa Best award as I’m not sure they deserved to be there,” former Man United striker Dimitar Berbatov told Betfair.
“I think they should give it to Robert Lewandowski. I think he deserves it.
“I’m not that sure who else should be there. People will always argue and speculate about who should be there. It is these three players and I think Lewandowski deserves to get the award.
“It would be unfair if he didn’t win it. I think it was unfair the Golden Ball didn’t happen this year as he was my favourite and a lot of people’s favourite.
“I think he should have got that award and hopefully this will be compensation.
“Sometimes unfortunately football is business and behind the curtains and the PR/Agents work way more away the camera from what you see.
“For me, Lewandowski is up there with the best strikers in modern football. This is a subject where nobody can agree on one player as in my opinion you cannot compare players from different times.
“Kane, Messi, Ronaldo, Aguero who have been scoring goals for many years are among the best.
“There are others, but with Lewandowski the way he plays the game and moves around the pitch, he should be in my three top strikers; he is great.”
Leo, Cristiano and Lewandowski are the three finalists for The Best FIFA Men’s Player of the Year award. The Pole is the hot favourite to claim the prize after winning the treble with Bayern Munich last season.
