Na wa for all dese Ronaldo Fanboys sha. So standing inside d 18yard box and waiting for penalties and tapins against small teams and in useless games makes one the best in the world?
Messi's goal vs bayern in d Ucl trumps all Ronaldo's goals.

Balon D'or is not golden boot. It is not an award given to the highest goal scorer. Instead it is an award given to the best overall player in the course of a year. A player who influenced his teams to victory in competitions.
Ronaldo is an amazing winger. He has really done well for himself and his teams. From a deadly and tricky winger in Man U to predatory attacker in Real Madrid, Ronaldo has really transformed himself. But one thing we have to realise is that 2015 wasn't a good year for him. He wasn't impactful enough to earn the balon d'or. He didn't score or give assist in games in games that mattered neither did he wow us with amazing dribbles. Most of his goals were either inside the box,headers,penalties or in meaningless games. An example was when he scored back to back hatricks when his team had already surrendered the Liga title to Barca.
Ronaldo had a good year goalscoring wise,but wasn't the best player.

CR7 deserves the award.....it is an individual award not team award......trophies are meant for team.....suarez and neymar contributed the same percentage messi contributed in winning those five trophies ....Madrid would have won them if Benzema and Bale also contributed the way CR7 did..... Messi fans if messi assists in a match without scoring they ll be like " Messi the best playmaker "....buh if CR7 does ...." CR7 flops for Madrid
mr man, messi is a better footballer.

Absolutely spot on!
It's a shame most football fans have no clue what the Balon D'or is all about.
I remember back in the days, when the likes of Zidane, Canavaro, Figo, Kaka won the awards, it had nothing to do with their goal scoring prowess, rather; their overall influence on their respective teams.
Maybe, the emergence of Messi and Ronaldo completely changed the mindset of some football fans in regards to the Balon D'or awards.
In the next couple of years, when Messi and Ronaldo must have faded and the goals dried up, maybe...just maybe, players will be awarded based on their contributions rather than goals scored, and fans will eventually come back to their senses.

you don't know what I mean when I say Ronaldo destroyed team spirit. How can I like a man who gets angry on international TV when abeloa, Bale, benzema scores a goal. Or a man who doesnt celebrate his team goals 5 times out of 10. How cán I like a man who is sober when his team wins 5-0 but he didn't score? That's what I mean when I said he killed team spirit at madrid. The same team spirit which you guys claim is the only thing which made Messi win over Ronaldo.

I don't wanna comment before but this your post is biased...... saying mess I started 4 yrs b4 cr7? messi started playing first team.games in 2008..... do you watch Madrid n barce match and compare ? or you just read live score and check the scorer to see ronaldo? I do watch Madrid and barce match very well, Ronaldo contribute little to the team, he only stays inside box ( benzema position) to tap in... I respect him, but damn, watch messi game and have some joy, you must always laugh..... Ronaldo make most of his assists in a difficult situation, He hate it when his team mate score while he didn't..... messi don't do this.


have you ever read where they compare Ronaldo to Pele or maradona?.... you can also answer that with messi.

I'm not gonna start forming neutral when I have my personal favorite.
I started watching football in 2002(I still remember Ronaldo de Lima's hairstyle in the world cup) but fell in love with the game in 2005 because of Ronaldinho. I had to be a barca fan. Also the fight spirit of liverpool made me also fall in love with them in the same year.
At this time,scoring 30/40 goals a year was amazing. Though forwards won awards, they weren't necessary the best players on their team irrespective of the no of goals scored. Eg Nzaghi of AC Milan.
Though Messi and Ronaldo took goalscoring to another level irrespective of the quality of goal scored or the importance, Balon D'or is for those that made impact when it mattered through scoring, assisting, making a save or last ditch tackle or dribbling to create opportunites.
This is what most Ronaldo's fans fail to realise.
I scored more than 100 goals in my secondary school, yet I wasn't given the Balon D'or because they were meaningless in the grand scheme of things just like most of Ronaldo's goals in 2015.
