Interview with Sergio Ramos.

Do you think Casillas may win the Balon d’Or?

No. He’s been playing very well for some years now and he won the league and the Euro last season, but they seem to want players who make a great difference, like Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. It would make me very happy to see Iker, Torres or Xavi win the

The translators of realmadrid.com should retire, right now. xDDD Sergio Ramos didn't say that Casillas may not win the Ballon D'Or, he said:

¿Es imposible que le den el Balón de Oro a Casillas?

No. Lleva haciendo buenas temporadas y se lo merece porque ha ganado Liga y Eurocopa. Pero si buscan jugadores que marcan las diferencias son Messi y Cristiano. Me alegraría que lo ganaran Iker, Torres o Xavi, que son grandes.

So the correct tranlation would be:

Do you think it's impossible that Casillas win the Ballon d’Or?

No. He’s been playing very well for some years now and he won the league and the Euro last season, but if they want players who make a great difference, these players are Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. It would make me very happy to see Iker, Torres or Xavi win the award. They are great.

I know it's impossible to do a literally translation, but in that translation, the meaning is totally missed. By the way, they cut the interview and delete the part in which Sergio said that right now he don't enjoy playing football,

Oooh thank you for that!
I did kinda wonder because it seemed a bit of a contradiction with the "it would make me very happy to see Iker...win the award" but I speak very little Spanish so I would have had no idea if I checked it!
Thanks again :D :D
