Ronaldo. Probably will win the WPOTY this year.
For some reason I've come to realize this year that Ronaldo stands out in a Madrid team, and scores so many goals while not being the focal point in the team, the ball does not have to go through him every attack in order for the team to succeed, there is no pressure to pass to him every other time. Whereas if you look at Barca it's the opposite with Messi.
True... The pantomime of football forces fans to overly respect the kind of players who "appear" more grounded and down to earth.... Especially in England.. We're normally encouraged to appreciate the humble player over the brash over-confident player.. That's why when we talk about Messi and Ronaldo, Messi will get the majority of fans claiming he's the better of the two. Because his TV personae is faultless, were more inclined to rate him higher than Ronaldo..
I'm different, I dont pay much attention to how players look on camera because to me, common sense suggests they're just as good/bad as us.. I accept that off camera, our team will have our fair share of "good guys" and a few "complete cu*ts too"..Soo.......
Putting all that sh*te aside, the points you make are correct.. Ronaldo is a monster, in a team that isn't as dependent on him opposed to Messi and Barca..
In other words, in the debate about who's the better of the two he gets a bit of a raw deal because he has a bit of swagger about him..
He was still a cock at Man U tho...
