I love him. Fair play to Greasy Ron, he’s run him close and done brilliantly in the CL, but Messi is on a different level. He’s made the extraordinary seem normal.
It's a travesty that Messi has only won Ballon d'Or just the once in the last 5 years.
 
Just imagine Diego Maradona playing in the current Barca team. It would be too easy for him.
And just compare those world cup stats....

The World Cup isn't the highest standard competition anymore. The Champion's League is.

Messi has been at the top of his game for double the length of time Maradona was.
 
It seems team accolades are weighted highly. Messi, for example, has been incredible in 2018 and far beyond Ronaldo yet it'll still be a close run thing.

Ronaldo will win it again this year because he won the Champions League.

Pathetic but true.

The travesty part is because team honours SHOULD NOT be weighed in to an award based on an individuals performance.

Not sure how REAL MADRID winning the Champions League is bigger than Lionel Messi winning the European Golden Boot, Pichichi and BARCELONA winning La Liga and Copa del Rey but there you go
