Ronaldo is in line to collect the award on 7 December, after a year in which he led Real Madrid to titles in Spain and Europe.
“Last season was exceptional. We won the league and the Champions League, where I was again the top scorer,” the Portuguese star told the French sports daily L’Equipe in an interview published yesterday. “If I win the Ballon d’Or, it’s perfect, otherwise I’ll still be the same person.”
If Ronaldo wins the award, he will tie Lionel Messi on five victories.
Ronaldo was delighted over the birth of his fourth child, announced on Sunday.
“There’s a little more chaos at home and also a little more noise, but I love that. I am truly happy surrounded by these children. I wanted them.
“Four is not enough, I want more,” Ronaldo said, adding: “I want seven children and seven Ballons D’Or.”
“As long as I play, I will be ambitious to win all I can win. Now my dream is a fifth Ballon D’Or. Then next year there will be another to pursue.”
