Pele pulled the greatest scam on every football lover alive and sadly, no one thought about it. For someone who compulsorily counted games he played for the Sixth Coast Guard in the military competition. No one bothered to note that his official goals was just about 700+
if don't even rate him as GOAT

I hate it when people twist the truth but heck haters must hate

Messi is a phenomenial player but to say Ronaldo is not good or a World class player is just plain stupid and unreasonable...
Messi played well so did Ronaldo but His contributions when evaluated brought more success than Messi in the year under review Hence He is G.O.A.T of Football. For now

ramos also tripped a bayern player in the box and the ref turned a blind eye.

arturo vidal was also shown a straight red for a yellow card offense...and you know he's a major player.

the ref had to intervene to save madrid whenever bayern was taking the lead...and not until then did you penaldo's shadow was seen in the field.
A champion wins under any circumstances. Madrid were trailing behind and bang! 2goals in assassin style. See Bayern later one time, I carried for that match, imagine my joy

But sending off Ronaldo in the Spanish Cup
against Cancerlona was fair right? You Meshit
fans all know the S.I unit of 'Ojoro' is Barcelona.
he was being aggressive like a bitch and that was the second card in the game...so he deserved the kick.

moreover, you don't compare super plastic with champions league.

The fact is, if Ronaldo wins 20 ballon'dor, Messi is still the Greatest of all time. Only real madrid fans dispute this. Infact, when they both retire, Football should be renamed in honor of Messi, and Penalty be renamed in respect of Ronaldo. Messi is like football itself and Ronaldo as to Penalty which is part of football. Such is their respective influence in the game.
we have other great penalty takers who has won not even one Ballon'Dor
Player like
Frank Lampard
Alessandro Del Piero
Steven Gerrard
Michel Platini
Please don't be BIAS this time. We know CR7 worth this 2016/17 Ballon'Dor

Aggresive? In which game cuz clearly that

If you guys underrate that trophy then you

Messi fanboy.

1. History would ask how a Ronaldo keenly contested the most individual coveted prize in football against your all time great such that he won it just as the same amount as him.
2. History would ask how a young, charismatic, onetime Lisbon player took the Premier League by storm to become a force, left for Spain to become a phenom.
3. History would ask how Ronaldo scored 50 goals in six consecutive seasons in the same league Messi is known for when he clearly could not do same.
4. History would ask how a Ronaldo was the first player in the history of the La liga to score against every team in a single season where Messi had been playing prior his arrival in 2009.
5. History would ask why Ronaldo won a senior national silverware while your so-called all time great cost his team a final by shooting a penalty kick into the sky, cried like a sissy and announced his retirement because he could not handle failure.
6. History would also ask why Ronaldo was announced the most complete footballer alive when Messi played in his era.
7. History would ask why Messi refused to play elsewhere but Barcelona while Ronaldo moved from Lisbon to Manchester United, became the club's iconic star and moved to Real to become goalkeeper's nightmare.
8. History would ask how a Ronaldo overtook Messi in the Champions League all time scoring chart to become its all time goal scorer.


Ronaldo would not only go down as an inspiration to players who are not regarded, but would be regarded as the best thing to happen to goal scoring feats in modern day football. One word best describe him and that is GENUIS.

what has ronaldo done for Portugal a parts from getting hattriks vs faroe island.Was he among the Top 3 players at the Euros? Did he work at the finals to win the Euro.Messi was the best player at the world cup.has more goals and assist than ronaldo in world cup and copa comparing to ronaldo euro.Messi is Argentina highest goal scorer and assist provider unlike ronaldo who is only highest with goals.Yes ronaldo has a trophy with Portugal and messi has been unlucky with Argentina despite playing in 3 finals.so don't undermine messi at Argentina.I choose to say he his even better than ronaldo at national team level.watch both play for their nations.while one struggles to get the final pass and score.The other make effort to win balls,create chances and still get to score them
You’re a fool. Cos if you ain’t you’ll know World Cup was rigged

Factfile
The Ballon d’Or is the award given to the best player in the world.

This year 30 players have been nominated although it is likely to go to one of the big two.

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are the only winners of the award in its current form.

You need to go back to 2007 to find a different winner when Kaka topped Ronaldo and Messi - who finished second and third respectively.

And the pair are expected to head the votes again this year with Ronaldo winning the Champions League and La Liga double in May.

Ronaldo is the big favourite but we'll find out later today if he's drawn level with Messi.

When is the 2017 Ballon d’Or awards?

The 62nd edition Ballon d'Or will be held on Thursday, December 7.

The ceremony kicks-off at 6.45pm GMT, 7.45pm local time.

Where is the 2017 Ballon d’Or awards?

The ceremony is held in Paris.

Who will present the Ballon d’Or?

Former Tottenham and Newcastle winger David Ginola will present the awards ceremony.

Who will win the Ballon d’Or?

Cristiano Ronaldo is the big favourite after another stunning year.

If he is victorious he will join Lionel Messi on five Ballon d’Ors.

Similarly if Messi comes second, he will join Ronaldo on five second places.

Last year Neymar came third and he may do again.

How do you win the Ballon d’Or?

The Ballon d’Or is held by French Football magazine and they ask 173 journalists from all over the world to vote.

PS: Ballon d'Or 2017 will be at 4:30 PM - 8:30 PM

I taya for these people, they will just be making claims without proof. only cr7 has proved himself at both club and national level, he has proved himself in his various clubs, but messi is still holed up in barca and hiding under the hardwork of his teammates, let him go to another team and prove himself.

I still don't understand the reasons for all these argument .

if you hate CR7 ... You will just be giving yourself more heartbreaks , cos he is ambitious . and Will surely pursue more individual achievement . So why not Love him and save yourself the heartache ?

And If you hate Lionel Messi ... Your problem just began cos the Argentine is also good in what he does, thus he is still going to win more football awards , Why not love him and save yourself from having Hypertension / Stroke ?


- There is a reason why it was said that you should love even your enemies , So you won't die before your time.

just an advice#
