Henry reveals his choice for the Ballon d'Or this year

Former Arsenal forward and French international Thierry Henry has named the player he would award the Ballon d'Or to this year.

"‘Rodri. I [always] wanted Xavi and Andres Iniesta to win it when they were performing. People forget about midfielders and what they do. They’re the heart of the team. He is the heart of Manchester City. I know he didn’t win the Champions League [last season] but he won the Euros [with Spain]" Henry was quoted as saying by Metro.

The Ballon d'Or ceremony will take place in Paris on October 28.
