Cristiano Ronaldo Overtakes Lionel Messi as the best in the World According to The Guardian With the Fifa Ballon dor drawing ever closer, What is certain is looking at the year in retrospect Ronaldo has been the single dominant figure, a phenomenal influence in the world’s champion club team, with 61 goals in just over 50 matches overall, along with Uefa Super Cup Title, Champions League and Club World Cup and Copa Del Rey medals for Real Madrid. And here at least his supremacy is a clear consensus rather than an argument to be made. As a reminder, the top 100 list is a product of 73 judges drawn from 28 countries, with Hernán Crespo, Didi Hamann, Slaven Bilic and Gilberto Silva among the Panel of Experts. At the end of which Ronaldo is now No1 in the world, as voted by 74% of those involved. It has been a steady reeling in of top spot. In 2012 Messi was the No1 pick by a 100% monopoly vote. Last year Messi was No1 by a 60% majority. This year Messi got just 12% of the vote, despite continuing to perform miracles of incision in La Liga and being enthroned (dubiously, and instantly disowned by Messi himself) as player of the 2014 World Cup finals. #TheGuardian #FifaBallondor
