Barcelona defender Dani Alves has been asked for his thoughts on the 2021 Ballon d’Or with the winner set to be announced later today at a ceremony in Paris.
The Brazilian thinks the Golden Ball should be given to Christian Eriksen because it would send a “strong message” to the footballing world.
Eriksen collapsed on the pitch at Euro 2020 while playing for Denmark after suffering a cardiac arrest. The Dane received CPR and was shocked with a defibrillator before being taken to hospital.
The former Tottenham man was subsequently fitted with a heart-starting device and discharged from hospital, although he is not permitted to play again for Inter this season.
