Ramos: If Iniesta was Andresinho, he would've won Ballon d'Or

Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta would have two Ballons d'Or if he was named Andresinho, according to Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos.

Iniesta, 33, is expected to announce he will leave Barca at the end of the season after 16 trophy-laden campaigns with the LaLiga giants.

But the superstar midfielder is set to finish his career without a coveted Ballon d'Or, despite top-three finishes in 2010 and 2012.

"If Andres was called Andresinho, he would have two Ballons d'Or," he said after Madrid's 2-1 win over Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final on Wednesday.
