The Ballon d’or is essentially the MVP of world futbol. There are a ton of leagues and competitions in futbol, and every competition generally has a golden ball (MVP) and golden boot (top scorer) award. Every time you hear, Messi won a golden ball, he was the MVP of that tournament, or top scorer if he won the golden boot. Ballon d’or voting generally looks at the best performers in the best leagues to see who is the single best player across those competitions. Messi has won it 8 times. Cristiano has won it 5 times. Nobody else has more than 3.

[@emimariatti5651]

Ballon D'or: decided by votes, is like the MVP. Golden Boot: most goals in a season And he was always the main character, he had help, Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets among other very good players, after all this is a team sport. But he was always the soul of the team, the X factor. The average goals per season for a very good player is 20-25... an amazing season is like 40... in NBA terms scoring 25 per game is like 40 goals in a season, 73 goals is like 35-40 points per game in NBA.

What always edges Messi for me is it’s just natural born talent and not only one of the best finishers in the world the vision he has for his passing as well on top of his dribbling it’s just an absolute joy. How hard Ronaldo worked to keep up with Messi and even be on top of him certain seasons as well is just outstanding. Comes down to preference I suppose but I doubt we’ll see a duo like Messi and ronaldo go head to head uninterrupted as long as they did for a long time. Just hard to see another era where 2 of the best players of all time starting their careers at the same time roughly and dominating the stage for well over 15 years now will happen

[@CJ2024-Onward]

Messi did have multiple primes: As a goalscorer/speedster, his prime was around 2011-2013 (age 24-25). As a playmaker, his prime was probably around 2015-2019 (age 27-30). For Cristiano, he did have multiple primes as well: As a dribbler/speedster, his prime was 2007-2010 (age 22-25) and as a goalscorer his prime was 2011-2016 (age 26-31). I’d say Ronaldo’s game was more complete when he was a bit younger, and he’s become more of a pure goalscorer as he’s got older. Messi’s game has remained a bit more well rounded with age, and he remained a great goalscorer and playmaker.

The thing with messi is that his prime was like for 10-12 years , unlike other players where their prime last for one year or 2 , the most it can be is 5 , messi during his entire career showed how consistent he was , ronaldo had a prime in 2008 , 2014 , 2016-2018 , messi had his prime since 2006 to 2019 , even tho he dropped since 2021 , he still became the south america champion and a year later became a world champion while being the best player of the tournament at the age of 35 , and now in 2024 he is in the finals of the copa america which is the south american tournament , the same one he won in 2021

Yes, golden boot is simply about scoring the most. Ballon d'or (French for ball of gold) is the prize for the best player in the world. Every country, every league, every division, every competition. It's decided by vote (of hundreds of managers, experts, ex-players etc).

[@thatguysclipsfr]

Golden boot - for the highest amount of goals in the year, no votes just stats, who scores the most wins it. Golden Ball - Its like the NBA MVP, althoough the votes come in from club & national team captains (for example messi can vote because he is the captain of argentina, and ronaldo by being the captain of portugal) For the trophies the champions league is equivalent to a nba championship because it happens once a year, however the UCL(uefa champions league, the trophy with the big ears) is played against the best clubs in europe a ligue title is winnig the league in the country the club is from, for example messi winning it for barcelona in spain. if you have another question js reply tothe comment ty.

Cristiano is a GOAT and made history alongisde with the best one ever. There was never even a debate among people who actually understand football as a whole!! Ronaldo has bigger social influence through media and is an icon of discipline and sacrifice, but Messi was born to be on the pitch and make it look so easy. People don't understand that when he passes 3, 4, 5 opponents and then putting on a magic assist of +30 meters, he's doing it against PROFFESIONAL PLAYERS and humilliating them in every zone of the grass. He can create a goal chance from 60 meters away, he reads the game as no one ever has, not even Maradona. I can keep glazing cause I love having seen most of his games through his career and also Ronaldo's, and so even though there was a couple of seasons where Ronaldo surpassed him, I never had a doubt about who was the real best in history.
