also I really don't get why bad-mouthing Ronaldo enhances Messi's greatness,

If Ronaldo so shitty, a waste of space, etc pp bla bla, then it follows that it doesn't take a lot for Messi to better than him.

The opposite is the case of course. Ronaldo is an uncomparable talent, one of the greatest of all times.

It just so happens Messi is just a little better than him.

Still, I can't understand why any objective football fan would look at this year and think: "You know who really should get this award for a change? Messi.."

If you don't consider Ribery a great enough individual player to get the award (which is bullshit), then heck, give it to Ibra if only for that 25m overhead goal against us...

Ibra is having another crazy season btw... 21 goals and 8 assists already for PSG including 8 CL goals lol. He has to be approaching 50 goals and 20 assists for the CY..

Ibra deserves to be in the history of this award.
He does things noone else can do and will ever be able to do.

Especially not Messi, because he's so short Wink

Ibra ffs :bow:

Hopefully he has a good CL showing for the rest of the tournament and carries on his mad goal scoring and creative form, i'd love to see him win it next time.

Ronaldo simply hasn't been better, unless you think numerical amount of goals is the yard stick, only yard stick.

Every stat there is in 2013:

Cristiano Ronaldo Ballon d'Or 2013 Winner 2013%2f10%2fBallon-1

Messi half fit still had the most impact. And furthermore being individually the best, he won La Liga, Supercopa, Golden Boot, La Liga Best Player and Forward trophies, compared to Cronaldo's nice zero awards. And all top of that got Argentina to World Cup winners of the hardest qualifying groups, when Cronaldo needed playoffs because he couldn't score against Israel.

It's not even close.

hapless, I think that c.ronaldo is an all time great, but I don't think that Messi is just a little bit better than him. For me, their goalscoring abilities is pretty similiar, although I would give Messi a slight edge but Messi's playmaking skills gives him an extra dimension that C.ronaldo doesn't have and takes him up a level..

Think about it. Messi has been the player that has scored the most goals these past 5 years while at the same time being the player with the most assist only behind Özil. And even then, Messi had only 4 assist less.

Like I said, Messi at his best is better than the best C.Ronaldo by a big margine because of his playmaking skills.

Ronaldo an all time great?
Maybe in scoring but that's about it isn't it, and even then other legends surpass him in that.

I won't think about it for too long though, as I'm not interested that much in the exact semantics of how much better Messi is.

If you ask me, Ronaldo is the worse player already if you only consider his ridiculous way of taking every 35 yards free kick with his ritual steps and never ever scoring from it.

TBH I think Ronaldo is an 'all time great', I suppose, but there are a lot of attackers I would take ahead of him.

depends on our definitions of all time greats, from the top tier like Pele, Maradona etc all atleast we very successful whether it was national team or club football.
Maybe Ronaldo has a disadvantage cuz a current Messi at the same time as him but still.
I'm still iffy, his goal scoring is good but as I said above his numbers are his best attributes and others have better numbers.

They offer different things. While Messi is a better playmaker , Ronaldo is the more dangerous goal threat, being capable of scoring any kind of goals.Messi is the best with the ball, wwhereas the portuguese is the bestr without it. Stop comparing, just enjoy them, since we'll probably never see any player better then these 2.

PS: Ronaldo's goal  celebrations are at another level btw Razz

*sighs* Do you really have to start b*tching around about whether CR7 or Messi is better / has the best stats etc? Please get a room and don't pollute even another FIFA Ballon d'Or thread with it!
