Messi IS the best, but Ronaldo WAS the 1st, 2nd, n 3rd best in the last season. As far as I know, the awards are given for the achievements and performance of the previous season. Messi couldn't perform last season, but Ronaldo did. So, Ronaldo should win all. end of story.
I think we should all wait till next month when ron get back to old traford presenting his world footballer of the year award to the fans.ron is a complete footballer than messi.check out that wonderfull header against roma last season
shows how ggod messi is that he only has one foot but is very predictable but still manages to glide past defenders. in general play messi is the much better player. He is also much more humble and is a better team player
