    Ronaldo deserves it imo, you can't disregard the fact he's won both the CL and European Championship...

    Ronaldo was part of the teams that won the CL and Euros, yes. But he wasn't outstanding in either final.

    Him winning is not an outrage but I still think Messi had the better individual season.

    The reward for winning the CL and the Euros is the winners medal, the Ballon D'or is supposed to be for the player who has performed best over the year and that hasn't been Ronaldo.

    I don't like journalist voted awards either, it held more merit when the managers and captains of countries voted.

    I didn't like the managers and captains voting - they tended to vote along national lines.

    Its an individual award. Not a team award.
    Ronaldo barely even played the final of the euros. And done barely * all in them to be honest. Worst team won that tournament for me.
    Messi clearly is the better individual and set up more goals, let alone scored more. He is the better player, that this award should be for.

    I wouldn't be against that, but in my view these things should always be decided by the IRA.
