Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney looks forward to tonight’s Champions League final, and says that team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo should have won last year’s Ballon d’Or.
The excitement is building ahead of tonight’s game between Man Utd and Chelsea in Moscow, and Rooney says it has been a wonderful year for him from a personal point of view.
"With the victory in the Premier League and my upcoming marriage [on June 14] it has already been a beautiful year,†the 22-year-old told the Gazzetta dello Sport.
“But the arrival of the wedding along with the Champions League will be really special. Off the field things have never been so good. I eat the right things, and I do not go out too much anymore in the evenings, as I used to a few years ago.â€
Rooney then went on to speak about team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo, and he says that the Portuguese winger should have won the Ballon d’Or last year instead of Milan superstar Kaka.
"I am convinced that last season Cristiano Ronaldo deserved the Ballon d’Or,†said Rooney.
“Kakà only won it because Milan won the Champions League.â€
"Ronaldo has incredible talent, and what he has done for United in these last two years is simply tremendous. Of course I want to be as good as him, I train every day for this.â€

Who's next? ...
oh shut up shrek congrats on CL win but dont speak to much your already a *** !
Who cares about what a dork says anyway?
Yawn
This lad got issues
Any respect I had for Rooney has now disappeared, I appreciate that CR is his team mate but like last night proves CR is a world class choker
Messi deserves it more that CR
I expect very high from Rooney but it seems that SAF effects are too much !!!
the question i have to ask Mr.Rooney is..."where were you last night mate?"
you choked and so did half your team
I wish Milan could have been there, played sh!t, and came home European Champions!
I think he forgot how Kaka ran through united last year.. Rooney was nowhere to be seen yesterday.. maybe he stilll had some issues in his mind as to why CR was not given the Golden Ball
Well... I care.
oh shut up you prick...rooney!
Interesting to compare what Rooney said with what Rio said to Sky after the win. He apparently said to SKY that he was honored to hold 'the cup that has been in the hands of Italian teams, like the great AC Milan, in recent years'. (this is a translation from Italian-- picked the quote up from an Italian friend who saw it on Sky and translated into Italian.)
Rio really wanted the CL. He probably thinks the CL is the most important trophy like most of us here as he said that a real United player is someone who has won this competition.
really? 3rd time in what? 100 yrs.. a win through penalty (and Terry's merciful heart) and they brag bout it?
3rd time in 40 years.. but whether you win on penalties or not, a win is a win. Yes, it's unlucky for the losing team, but for the winners? Who cares.
Do you think our win vs Juve wasn't any good because it was on penalties? I don't, I love winning on penalties!
a win is a win indeed.. but when it comes to penalty (vs juve eg..) the bad part is the thrill..
damn it stops my heart 4 a while..
I think he forgot what Kaka did to his whole team last year
Talk is cheap, Kaka proved that last year
haha.. the evra-heinze collision at trafford is the best part.. it's sad we're never gonna see that again.. unless evra sign for madrid..
Rio Ferdinand does think quite a bit of himsef, he think he has the ability of Kaka' too, the amount of times he tries to take on a whole team running from defense.
He also seems to think he is a midfielder. Baresi last year citicised him saying "(Rio) will never be world class because he focuses too much on technical skills and passing rather than defending" (paraphrased)
