The Top Ten
1 Cristiano Ronaldo Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro (born 5 February 1985) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a forward for Serie A club Juventus and captains the Portugal national team.

After winning the Champions League and Euro 2016 I do not see any other winner than CR7. He had a very successful season and although the injury could not help his team in the final of the Euro, however, he was and is the best. Experts do not give other players a chance to win the Ballon d'Or, neither Messi nor Griezmann can not threaten him. Moreover bookmakers do not see another favorite besides Ronaldo, as evidenced by exposed odds, 1/6 for Ronaldo, and Messi just 5/1. Ronaldo has still a huge advantage for half a year to award, what only predict his victory.

He's the all-time leading goalscorer in the champion's league with 100 goals and counting. He saved his team that night against bayern and often did it for los blancos in la liga together with sergio ramos.

Ronaldo is the best soccer player and about messi he used to be my favouret soccer player but now he's not because he shows off and ronaldo don't do that

Ronaldo I think you are the best player in the world so you should work hard and play soccer

2 Lionel Messi Lionel Andrés "Leo" Messi (born 24 June 1987) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward for Spanish club Barcelona. He is also known as one of the greatest football players of all time. He was born in Rosario, Argentina on June 24th, 1987.

I do respect CR7 but there is lot more then skill which we give lot more respect then having skills only,we all noticed a lottht when messi assist in any of goal of his team mate he feels the same happiness as there team mate but in case of CR7he always feels bad that he can't make to goal and he always become angry what himself messi is a quite gentelman who is happy with everyone in his team and when neymer was leaving barca messi told neymer that if this is all about Ballond'Or then messi can take his name and let neymer win the title thts a supportive teamsprit which makes messi greater then Ronaldo

I think this time messi will win the ballon d or because messi this time win more individual awards and also win copa del rey and ronaldo has win for his team only this time so think messi will. I respect both but I think messi for of course.

After showing he can dominate single play, (4 consecutive ballondors.. I mean shut up haters) he decides to assist and help his teammates score goals nowadays.. that's why he's the goat

Surely the little man will win the ballon dor, he has ticked all the boxes this season which Ronaldo has not

3 Neymar Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior, born 5 February 1992, commonly known as Neymar or Neymar Jr., is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Ligue 1 club Paris Saint Germain (PSG) and the Brazil national team as a forward or winger, and is also the captain of the national team.
