AC Milan defender Kjaer proud to be among Ballon d'Or nominees | OneFootball

AC Milan defender Simon Kjaer is proud to be among this year's Ballon d'Or nominees.

Kjaer was speaking before PSG star Leo Messi was announced the winner.

"I'm happy to be here for the first time, it's a positive thing for football," said Kjaer. "Who will win? It's a good question, I don't know. Last year Lewandowski deserved it. This year, however, one between him, Messi or Ronaldo."

On Milan's form, he continued: “We have to do better in many aspects of the game, both on the attacking side and in the defensive side. In the last two games we have conceded seven goals and that's too many."
