"For sure, Leo Messi will take it. Holland is also a very big figure," COPE quoted the Spaniard as saying.

Rodri has also been nominated for this year's Ballon d'Or, but the midfielder does not expect to win.

"I know it's an individual award with a lot of marketing. Of course, among the monsters I'm with, I lacked marketing. It was the same with Xavi and Iniesta. What I care about is what I can influence, which is the collective awards," Rodri added.
