Messi did not deserve second place, says Kroos

Real MadridmidfielderToni Kroosfeels his compatriotManuel Neuershould have come second in the Ballon d'Or vote behindCristiano Ronaldo, rather thanBarcelonaattackerLionel Messi.
The Argentina international amassed 15.76 per cent of the votes to narrowly pip the Bayern Munich shot stopper – who collected 15.72% of the votes – to second place, but Kroos feels Messi did not deserve to finish ahead of the World Cup winner."
It's surprising and a little unfair that Neuer finished behind Messi," Kroos toldSky Sport News.
"I thought it would be a close call between Manuel and Cristiano.
"Neuer was the best goalkeeper by a long way and Cristiano was the best outfield player. It was between the two of them really.
"Manuel would have been a worthy winner, but Cristiano deserved it, too.
"Kroos was one of four Germany international to make the top 10 of the 2014 Fifa Ballon d'Or, finishing ninth with 1.43 per cent of the votes.
