Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are favourites to win the Ballon d'Or, however Alonso has made a case for the German stopper to break the duo's six-year dominance of winning the award.  'If Manuel won it, it'd be totally deserved,' Alonso told Sport Bild.'Neuer is by far the best keeper I've played with and is also outstanding outfield.'Neuer recently suggested he was not fashionable enough to win the award ahead of Ronaldo as he doesn't have a 'red-carpet lifestyle' or have a modelling career. The 28-year-old custodian is joined on the 23-man shortlist by fellow 2014 World Cup winners Toni Kroos, Thomas Muller, Mario Gotze, Philipp Lahm and Bastian Schweinsteiger.Bakudaily.Az
