Juventus great Alex del Piero believes Real Madrid star, Jude Bellingham deserves to win this year’s Ballon d’Or award.

Recall that the England international played a key role as Real Madrid defeat Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in last night’s Champions League final.

Reacting after the game, Del Piero told Sky Italia that Bellingham has done enough to win the award.

“I hope that the Ballon d’Or is tied not only to the victories and defeats of a player, but to his real efficacy within the team, how much he can improve the squad and those around him,” Del Piero told Sky Italia, when discussing Bellingham, while at Wembley yesterday.

“We are coming off an era where Ronaldo and Messi dominated. That was often deserved, but not always, in some occasions others would’ve deserved to get the award.

“The Euros and the World Cup should only matter to a certain degree.

“They are big tournaments, but if the Ballon d’Or has to evaluate the full year, then it has to take other things into consideration too. There are many players who have incredible years. I want to be clear, sometimes we get confused and think the Ballon d’Or should go to absolutely the most talented player, but that’s not what it is for.”
