Falcao: Ballon d'Or nomination reflects my hard work

The Atletico Madrid striker is competing with the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo for the prize, and has thanked his team-mates for helping him towards the honour Triplete de Falcao vs Chelsea Nominated for the coveted Ballon d’Or by virtue of a strike rate bettered only by his fellow Liga poster boys Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo over the past 12 months, Atletico Madrid’s goalscoring machine Radamel Falcao could be forgiven for allowing his new found fame and notoriety to go to his head. The 26-year-old has scored at a scarcely credible rate over the last three seasons, over 100 for his former club Porto and current employers combined, but remains uneasy at comparisons that are increasingly being drawn between himself, Messi and Ronaldo.
