The debate will always rage on between Messi and Ronaldo but the way Ronaldo applies himself in his training and recovery I wonder how long he will play at the top level and if Messi can match that.
To me they are both unbelievable players but with Messi it’s all about just sheer natural talent and Ronaldo has taken what he has and improved himself to dizzying heights with sheer hard work and application.
Both to be admired in their own ways.
 
WELP.

Looks like someone doctored the votes. Multiple captains, coaches and official have come out claiming that their votes have been changed from what they originally voted for to Messi.

Mo Salah, Egypt Fall Out Again After Vote in FIFA The Best Awards Goes Astray
Egypt's vote was missing from the final count in FIFA The Best Awards, which took place in Milan on Monday.

Disappointment for Virgil.....

Deserved. The award should be given to the BEST player in the World. He's been the BEST player in the World since 2009. End of.
 
Would Messi be that good in the PL or Bundesliga?

I think so, considering his record against the very best England and Germany have had to offer over the years in the CL.

Fully deserved to win this year.
