Cristiano Ronaldo had won 4 out of the last 5 Balon D'or trophies.
This is not competition with ANYONE. It is a POWER SHIFT.

If you ever say Messi is better than Ronaldo again, you need your brain checked.
Man came from 4 awards down to 1 to equal the record 5 awards to 5
Incredible stuff.
All hail King Ronaldo who will make it 6-5 next year too.
