Champion? He was not a protagonist a Inter or City (see why he was sold to know about his career), in fact his goal scoring rate per appearance was only average, per minute was great mainly because of PK's. The same at Milan where hes got no competition for a starting spot and takes all the PK's. He's got all the skills to be a Champion except concentration and most likely work ethic. If he had those he would be greater then Cronaldo and Messi. As far as the world cup is concerned, theres a chance he starts it on the bench.
