Since it won the UEFA Euro 2016 practically without doing at all and lesionándose in the first chamber of hour of the final, Cristiano Ronaldo began to take for granted that the fourth Balloon of Gold of his career no could him escape by no means, after having conquered also the UEFA Champions League with the Real Madrid after a final in which it neither appeared until the penalti final.
The Portuguese player, "touched" physically, decided to lengthen his holidays to be able to begin in full form the season with the Real Madrid, from the second day of competition. Since, however, it seems a very distinct footballer to the of the last seasons. It has marked only four official goals with the group merengue in all the course, passed already almost two months of competition.
In only two parties of UEFA Champions League 2016-17, Leo Messi has annotated two "hat-tricks" against Celtic and Manchester City to leave clear who commands in the panorama futbolístico world-wide, adding six targets that plant him like "Pichichi" in Champions, whereas in League is also very near of Luis Suárez, having annotated the Argentinian five so many and the charrúa six.
Without penaltis in favour, seems that to Cristiano Ronaldo is him seeing the feather duster. To his 31 years no longer has the physical capacity of previous campaigns, and prays to go back to recover some competitive level that, with a few goals, serve him to defend the terrain of face to the Balloon of Gold 2016. But it is nervous with the comeback of Leo Messi, and is not for less.
"The Flea" has returned in a moment of spectacular form, and the next weeks can be key of face to the most adjusted prize of the last times. Messi follows showing that it is the best. We will see if this reflects in the votes.
