Thread: Ronaldo wins ballon d'Or for the fifth time...

  1. #1

    Ronaldo wins ballon d'Or for the fifth time...

    Level with Lionel Messi now, five times each. Always fancied seeing Gareth Bale picking this up, but my hopes are fading. Not sure how valid it is anyway with not one Wolves player being nominated. N'Golo Kante highest placed Premier League player at eighth, Harry Kane highest placed British player at tenth.

    If you win the champions league then you'll win it then because there's no way he was the best player

    He'll always be second fiddle at Real Madrid.

    Get real Jamie. They win the league, and champions league, and he’s their best player. Deserved winner.

    Did you not see the goals he scored in the champions league QF and SF?’!?!?

    He played well in a few games granted they were big games but no chance was he the best player in the world this past year I don't even think he was real Madrid best player but just my opinion

    I doubt the first 3 months of the season counted much to his Ballon Dor mate. His performance in the business end of last season was phenomenal

    Re: Ronaldo wins ballon d'Or for the fifth time...

    Definitely deserved it. It was 4-1 Messi at one point, and he's pulled it back to 5-5. I prefer Messi but you cannot knock cristiano. One of the greatest of all time.

    it would be easy to pick Messi but he didn't win the trophies and didn't score against juventus twice so that apparently puts him out of the question honestly watching real Madrid I thought Marcelo was their best player but he's a defender so has no chance in this day and age Harry Kane finishing 10th is also a joke

    Obviously the only stat that matters to you is scoring goals.
    If you've actually watched any Real Madrid games this season then you will see that Ronaldo looks more of the pace than Alex Revell!

    Against Nicosia Real Madrid went 4-0 up at half time without Ronaldo scoring then proceeded to pass the ball to him at every opportunity just to enhance his bruised ego as is the case with him these days.

    It's pathetic and goes against the grain of everything I have learned about football.

    He is missing chance after chance for Real in La Liga but for some reason the players keep feeding him when other players are in better positions amd this has been to the detriment of his team.

    If someone else scores he is never happy. He is like a pathetic school kid.

    I don't get what you're trying to prove? Top scorer in champions league = best player in the world?

    And a hat trick in the semi against Atletico, 5 (hat trick and a double) in the quarter finals against Bayern.

    Ive seen some ridiculous arguments against Ronaldo because people dont like him but this one takes the piss.

    He led Madrid to La Liga and Champions League honours, scoring an obscene amount of goals in the toughest, biggest games of the season. A more deserving winner of a Ballon D'or you could not wish to find.

    If they didn't allow him to score offside goals brayern would've knocked them out. I'm not disputing he's not class just didn't deserve it just because he scored in the knock out stages of the champions league

    If your auntie had bollocks she would be your uncle. You win some you lose some, decisions go for and against you,

    He didnt "just score in the knock out stages" though did he? He scored over 40 goals last season, won the league, the champions league, and scored 10, yes TEN goals, in the Quarter final to Final of the most prestigous tournament in club football. Thats an unbelievable feat even by Ronaldo and Messi standards.

    Messi may have scored over 10 or 11 goals more but none of them were anywhere near as important as the ones Ronaldo scored and thats a FACT.
