Yeah , Messi didn't deserve his last one , also CR7 should've won back in 2018 , but you can't deny these 2 were absolutely the best last 15 years .

There is no such thing as a GOAT player, can't compare by goals, only categorically... otherwise you are mixing up popularity with functionality.
"Ballon Dor" is for people who witness football as an event without understanding it.
If we are comparing by category then R9 at his peak shits all over CR7 as a pure attacking threat/talent.
another myth
, can you tell me when was his peak ? and pls don't blame on his injuries .
R9 only once scored more than
30 goals in his whole career (league goals) while playing for Barca , on his best season while he was playing for Inter he scored
25 goals , on his 2nd season he scored
14 .
While he was playing for Madrid he scored about
20 goals per season .
Just becasue he knew how to dribble , he doesn't even come close to CR7 .
And i don't even want to talk about their performance on champions league , R9 looks like some average guy compared to CR7 .
