He didn't win it. He took it.

And no one else has ever taken it like that. Not even close.

2016 was not voted. It was declared.

Messi has 8 Ballon d'Ors. But show me ONE where he won a Champions League AND an international trophy in the same season AND finished as the top goals plus assists for his team and the tournament.

You cannot. Because it never happened.

2011? No international trophy.
2015? No international trophy.
2019? No Champions League, no international trophy.
2021? No Champions League, finished 5th in La Liga.
2023? No Champions League, playing in a farmers league in America.

Most of his awards were from the illusion. The illusion that he looked better than everyone, so they gave it to him. Dribbling in midfield. No trophies that matter.

2016 was different. 2016 was real football.

Champions League winner. Top scorer of the Champions League.
Euro winner. Top assister of the Euros. Top G/A for Portugal. Top G/A for Real Madrid.

He carried two teams on his back to two titles in one summer. Wolfsburg hat trick. Winning penalty in the final. Hungary to save his country. Wales to send them to the final. Crying on a stretcher and still coaching from the touchline.

That is not illusion. That is pure greatness.

So when France Football counted:

Number 1: Cristiano Ronaldo 745 points
Number 2: Lionel Messi 316 points

A margin of 429 points. The biggest ever in football history.

It was not a victory. It was a coronation. It was football correcting itself and saying:

No debate. This year, this sport, belongs to one man.

2008 was talent. But 2016? 2016 proved that talent can be gifted, but greatness is taken. And no Messi Ballon d'Or season will ever come close to it.

❤️‍🩹🫂 Cristiano Ronaldo with a beautiful message to Kvaratskhelia.

“The hardest battles in football are often ones nobody sees”.

“I know that feeling, Kvara. But never forget what brought you this far, and don’t let a difficult moment make you doubt how far you can go. Keep that fire on. Your best is still to come”.

Cristiano is Kvara’s idol since he was a kid. ✨

A wide winger was never built to be football's top scorer ever. A wide winger was never built to be football's top assister. That is the job of strikers.

In his first 200 games, Ronaldo only scored 89 goals. He was not a striker. He was a trickster. A kid doing stepovers on the wing while the striker waited in the box.

That is why the goals per game ratio argument is a lie.

Messi has been a striker, a false 9, the main man since he was 13 at La Masia. He was born in front of goal.

Ronaldo spent his first 5 years as a wide winger. Built to cross, track back, defend. Scoring 0.45 goals per game while Messi was scoring 0.79 from day one.

Today Ronaldo sits on 981 career goals, Messi on 934.

So take away Ronaldo's entire childhood as a winger. Take away 200 games of his life where he wasn't even trying to be a goalscorer.

And his second career, the one that started at 27 as a pure monster, STILL has more goals than most strikers will ever dream of.

He saw Messi win an award for scoring the most goals in a calendar year, then he took it personal. He outscored him for 4 consecutive seasons. And that's when people started saying football isn't about goals.

Because when Ronaldo was finally ready, when he was finally ready to compete with Messi in his own craft, he beat him to it.

CRISTIANO RONALDO. IT'S HIM. IT'S ALWAYS HIM. Every time his country NEEDS him he DELIVERS. PHENOMENAL HATTRICK FROM THE GOAT. HE TRULY IS THE GREATEST
