In what were thinking the journalists of "France Football" when they chose to Cristiano Ronaldo like Balloon of Gold 2016? And the most important, in what will be thinking now? Leo Messi signed a performance estratosférica and of pure magic against the RCD Espanyol in the Camp Nou, winning once again the praises of the international press and causing an alluvium of criticisms of fans to the magazine gala that gave the individual prize more important of the panorama futbolístico to Cristiano does some days, only by the fact to having won Champions and Eurocopa.
But, independently that Leo Messi was better that Cristiano, something that already knows all the world to exception of the madridistas that do not want to open the eyes, suffices with throwing an ojeada to the numbers of Messi and Christian in 2016 to darse that the Argentinian deserved much more the prize, at least regarding the individual plane.
Leo Messi has been able to mark more goals in this 2016 (59 to 55), giving besides practically the double of assistances (34 to 18) and having an impact in the a lot greater Barcelona that the one of Cristiano Ronaldo in the Real Madrid. And but, that ask it to him to the Espanyol after the goleada suffered the Sunday in the Camp Nou, with "The Flea" like main leading.
Leo Messi, with greater repercussion that Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano not even won in this 2016 the Pichichi, the Boot of Gold neither any national title, whereas in the current Leo Messi him aventaja in the table of maxima goleadores in League (12 to 10) and him vapulea in Champions (10 to 2). All this, without explaining the creation of game that is able to generate Messi when it takes out the magic wand in the zone of three chambers of field, and that Cristiano Ronaldo not even can invoke.
Already it said it the technician of the RCD Espanyol after the party of this last day: "If it wanted to, Messi would mark a "hat-trick" in each party". What sucede is that Leo Messi, that plays for the team, only thinks in the very common and no in his own statistical. Regarding Cristiano Ronaldo, sure that it would like him annotate a "hat-trick" duel after duel. Another thing is that have the technical capacity to do it. It will have stirred up consciousnesses in "France Football" the exhibition of Messi? It is possible.
