Care to explain why Messi deserves it more than Ronaldo?

What was Messi's achievement in 2017? Remember Madrid won the Champions League back to back for the first time in the history of the game since it was reformed.

I believe there is no argument as to who pocketed 2017 between the duo.
balon d'or is based on individual form,, not team form.

Who said it was a team award? What was Ronaldo's role en route a back to back Champions League win? What was his role en route winning the Labour liga?

Remind me, please...

See as airbrush fix that his ugly face..we all know he know fine reach
There is no such thing as what is meant to be but what is ..whether you or your messing up fans assume he is the greatest doesn't matter what matters is what is offici ally known..
CR7 has a lot of pple envying him ,envy is what is blinding you all..that short man knows he can only try but CR7 is ahead of his game
Hope you are sitting down ,I don't want you to fall and break your head when Ronaldo is announced as winner

Ronaldo is great goal scorer and hence a great footballer...But u and I both know that football is more than just scoring goals.. That's why football greats see Messi as d god of football.


Rinaldo is not just a great scorer Ronaldo has exceptional sense of attack positioning and he's a great finisher with both head and feet, he's a great athlete, strong, tall, fast, hardworking, everything a sportsman should be physically

Goal scorer...

But what was the likes of Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Zidane, Kaka known for...

Thierry Henry was the highest goal scorer in the whole of Europe on the two occasions Zidane and Kaka won it respectively; but he has not given the award.
Here is a twist. Okocha was more outstanding than any African player at his peak, yet he never won the African player award.

Beyond being a goal scoring machine, being in the right team matters a whole lot. Arsenal was good during the days of Thierry Henry but their depth was limited to England and not Europe. Okocha shone in England but never at the European level compared to Eto'o.

I hope you understand now.

Let's just say if defenders were enemies, Ronaldo deals with them physically..

While Messi on the other hand deals with them spiritually... Beyond human understanding.

Ronaldo was 12, Messi was 11. How then was Messi the highest goal scorer?

What was Messi's mark at the European level as against Ronaldo's?
