Ramos: `I can win the Golden Ball!`

The captain of Real Madrid Sergio Ramos believes he can win the Golden Ball and put an end to the dominance of his teammate Cristiano Ronaldo and the Barcelona star Lionel Messi, who won the award nine times in the last nine years.

`I don`t think the idea that I can win the Golden Ball is crazy. If they decide to give it to me, then it would have been a historic moment.`, added the Spanish international.
