Zinedine Zidane: 'Cristiano Ronaldo is from another planet'

Former Real Madrid legend Zinedine Zidane has said that Cristiano Ronaldo will add to his recent Ballon d'Or victory.

Ronaldo was named the best player in the world for the third time in his career last week, and Zidane believes that he is capable of surpassing Lionel Messi's current haul of four.

"Ronaldo won his third Ballon d'Or and he'll win some more," he told reporters. "What he's doing is already from another planet.

"If he keeps on like this, he'll definitely win other Ballon d'Ors and overtake Messi."

Ronaldo scored his 35th and 36th goals of the season at the weekend as Real Madrid cruised to a 3-0 win over Getafe.
