Cristiano Ronaldo makes fantastic claim about two Real Madrid players

Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest players in the history of the game. Over the course of his storied career, he won five Ballon d'Ors, a number only bested by Lionel Messi. Four of those wins came while he was a Real Madrid player. And the Portuguese icon seems to believe that the club have two potential future winners in their current squad.

Ronaldo has made a lot of headlines recently by starting his own YouTube channel. Recently he also spoke to former Manchester United teammate, Rio Ferdinand, on a variety of issues.

One such topic was Kylian Mbappe and his move to Real Madrid. Ronaldo sees a bright future for the Frenchman at Santiago Bernabeu and the potential to win the Ballon d'Or in the upcoming years. He also picked out Jude Bellingham as another.

While speaking on Rio Ferdinand Presents, Ronaldo said:

"In my opinion, he can be the next Golden Ball for the next years. Him, probably Haaland, Bellingham, Lamine.

"I think this new generation, they have a lot of potential. But let's see if their head is clear and good and if they can deal with the pressure because Real Madrid is not PSG, I can tell you."

When it comes to future Ballon d'Or winners, those are two solid picks for sure. Many times, the award comes down to trophies and there is no better club in the world than Real Madrid, when it comes to your chances of winning the Champions League.

Bellingham has already experienced it, winning the Champions League in his debut campaign with Los Blancos. Mbappe is still searching for his first European crown. Hopefully, that search will come to an end in Madrid.

Of course, Real Madrid have another player or two, who could win the Ballon d'Or before them. Vinicius Junior is one of the favourites for the next one, as is teammate, Dani Carvajal, having won both the Champions League and EUROs.

There is a good chance that the next Ballon d'Or winner will be a Real Madrid player. That being said, Manchester City's Rodri is in the running as well.
