Pepe thinks that it would be an outrage if Cristiano Ronaldo didn't win the Ballon d'Or. In comments to 'A Bola', the defender said that, "Ronaldo has never been more influential than this year, and for that reason it would be utterly scandalous if the Ballon d'Or didn't go to him".
"If another player wins the Ballon d'Or they should be embarrassed given what Ronaldo has been doing of late, breaking one record after another. Can anyone really say that Ronaldo won't win the trophy?", stated the central defender emphatically, also pointing out that his club and country teammate, "scored 17 goals in the last season's Champions League".
"In just the three months we've had of this season so far, he's scored 23 goals", Pepe went on. "What more does he have to do to be recognised? He already the best player of all time and it would be a scandal and an embarrassment if they didn't give him the Ballon d'Or in a year in which he is so clearly head and shoulders above the rest", he concluded.
