THEREFORE...
We can deduce that Neymar dominated in terms of goal scored, Bale dominated in terms of Versatility, Messi dominated in terms of Achievements and Awards while Ronaldo dominated in terms of experience and appearances.
Although, FlyBarca is in a good position to decide the winner, but we will appreciate if the fans do that for us by commenting on who they think is best.
