Who should win the Ballon d'Or (Messi, Ronaldo, Ribery)

[Charnwood Norris]

They have been short listed to 3.

 

I think Ribery deserves it this year if going by achivement alone: 

 

- Champions League champion, German League champion, German Cup champion, Uefa Super Cup champion. 

- 15 goals, 15 assists.

 

Ronaldo

 

Accolades 2012-2013 season: none.

 

-  51 goals, 12 assists

 

Messi

 

Accolades 2012-2013 season: Spanish league, Spanish Super Cup

 

- Goals 37, assists 11.

Ronaldo is the best player in the world, at the moment. It's just that Real Madrid are streets behind Bayern and Barca. Team achievements should be a factor in the decision but it shouldn't be the only factor.

[purpleronnie]

Ronaldo.

[marko]

Ribery isn't even the best player in his team, let alone Europe or the world.

[Poznan34]

Has to be Ronaldo's year

[ScouseFox]

Ronaldo was just about edging Messi when the votes started and since then Messi had a dodgy patch and then got injured whilst Ronaldo has scored a ridiculous amount of goals for Real as well as qualifying Portugal for the WC in boss fashion.

 

If Ronaldo doesn't win it then something has gone wrong IMO. 

 

Ribery is a great player but his nomination is more team based, he's won every cup etc but his goals/assists/performance stats aren't even worth comparing with Ronaldo or Messi.

[Bert]

How can it be anyone but Ronaldo? Remember it's based on the year they've head, and he's been better than both. It's an individual award, not a team award.

[Dan]

Messi with no votes

 

Ronaldo for me. I prefer Messi as a player but it's been Ronaldo's year.

[Guest MattP]

Ronaldo probably.

Can't stand him though so I voted for the rapist.

This.

[Freeman's Wharfer]

Ribery. Just for a laugh so we can see Ronaldo's face.

[Corky]

This.

 

Ribery

Spanish PFA Team of the Year

 

 

Ronaldo

Spanish PFA Team of the Year- 2009/10, 2010/11, 2011/12, 2012/13, 2013/14, 2014/15, 2015/16, 2016/17

 

Messi

Spanish PFA Team of the Year- 2006/07, 2007/08, 2008/09, 2009/10, 2010/11, 2011/12, 2012/13, 2013/14, 2014/15, 2015/16, 2016/17

 

Seems to clear to me who it should be.

[Maybes]

Ronaldo has been simply sensational. Has to win it.

[Captain...]

Ribery. Just for a laugh so we can see Ronaldo's face.

 

I'm just picturing Ronaldo's face now, he would go into meltdown.

[Darkon84]

Has to be Ronaldo, surely? He has been insane in the last year. If Ribery wins it, there is something VERY wrong going on. Team accolades are for the team, and as someone mentioned above, Ribery isn't even the best player in his team, let alone the world.

[Dan]

Debatable about Ribery. Pretty sure I've read that Bayern fans largely consider him their star man although I think someone who watches more German football than me is far more qualified to comment on that subject. My favourite player from Bayern is Schweinsteiger. Think he's quite possibly the most complete midfielder on the planet.

[Langston]

Ronnie, surely?

[sprague]

I think it would be Ronaldo. It seems that all aspects are like. Moreover, he is my favorite player. I hope he's winning.
Now he's getting better and better performance. He is proud of Real Madrid. La Liga is the best. I'm proud to be his fans. To have his football shirt http://www.wysjg.com/custom-football-shirts-real-madrid-20132014-cristiano-ronaldo-p-537.html and crazy.

[deejdeej]

Prefer Messi as a player. But surely Ronaldo this year.

[Banks]

Ribery will win it, watch...
