CRISTIANO RONALDO'S odds to win the Ballon D'Or have been slashed by Coral from 2-1 to 1-2.
The Real Madrid looks nailed on to collect the award for the second time after guiding Portugal to the World Cup finals with a superb hat-trick against Sweden.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who hit a double in his side's 3-2 defeat in Stockholm, won't agree but Ronaldo is clearly the best player in the world at the moment with Lionel Messi suffering injury problems.
Bayern Munich’s French star Frank Ribery is the 2-1 second favourite with Argentine superstar Messi out to 8-1.
Coral spokesman Nicola McGeady. said: “Cristiano Ronaldo is enjoying the best form of his career right now and his sensational display last night has sent him straight to the head of the betting for this season’s Ballon D’Or. With voting opened until November 29 it looks like the Real Madrid superstar will claim the recognition he deserves.”
Ballon D’Or betting (Coral): 1-2 Cristiano Ronaldo, 2-1 Frank Ribery, 8-1 Lionel Messi, 50-1 Thomas Muller, 66-1 Arjen Robben, 66-1 Zlatan Ibrahimovic, 100-1 bar.

You reckon this is a stick on then? Surely after the hat-trick which put Portugal through. When is this decided?
Cut price to 4/9 already
Stuck Ronaldo on in October when he was 12/1 looks good now.
Got him at 11/2 when messi announced injured only 20 quid but should be easy money
Does the 100/1 bar include Rowan Vine????
When is the decision??
