IMO, goals should not be decisive the way it is now when it comes to the ballon d'or winner. Scoring goals and finishing is part of the player's overall performance. Despite the (58) goals, Cristiano's overall performance is no where near Messi's performances in the last 4 seasons. he's not even...

Cristiano Ronaldo (58) has now scored 15 goals more than Messi (43) in year 2013.... few weeks ago, before Messi's injury in september the difference was just 3... I think this will effect the votes, since players/coaches will being voting during this month.

500 official games 102 goals 151 assists Arsenal+Barcelona+Spain (senior level)

By the way; he set a personal record for shots in a single game this season (10 vs Celta), his previous was 9 vs Valencia (2-3 win). Messi took 64 shots in 13 official Barcelona games this season (4.9 per game).

1 assist, Cesc shots counted as an owngoal (Yoel)! Very unlucky today, he had 5 shots on target all saved by Yoel!!!!!!!!!

good performance, I was expecting him to start the game instead of Adriano! No Adriano injured again, with Alba also out he'll probably start vs Espanyol!

I hope he stays fit, no more injuries PLEASE!!!!

Agree, Busquets should be in the list! They also didn't include players like Gundugon, Vidal, Reus, Mata.

Ballon d'or Top 23: Messi, Neymar, Iniesta and Xavi.

Pique needs rest. Bartra should start vs Celta on Tuesday with Puyol.

Most recovered balls for Barcelona vs Real Madrid: Pique 12 - Mascherano 8 - Busquets 8 - MESSI 7

Cesc should only play in the midfield as an attacking midfielder. Rotate with Iniesta/Xavi. When Tata wants Messi to play on the RW, Alexis or even Pedro should play in the middle of the front lineup!

He always play well in the big games...

HATERS :lol: He's been playing well since the Celtic game, hope he continues to improve...

Yes, this is his 3rd goal against Real Madrid (Camp nou 2, Bernabeu 1).

Awesome goal by Alexis! He continues his great form this year! I think the only mistake done by Tata is not starting with Alexis instead of Cesc as a CF. [Cesc was doing great at the beginning if the season as an attacking midfielder and he should only play as a midfielder]. Neymar - Alexis -...

Finally, Iniesta is back to his best :D I'am okay if he only wants to be that good in BIG games :-)

playing against teams parking the bus is always difficult, even Neymar and Messi didn't do well! Why only criticize Alexis?

Maybe... I didn't include him cause in terms of achievements he failed to win UCL or a WC. ------------- IMO, in terms of football skills. Currently, only Iniesta comes close to Messi [vision, passing, creating chances and dribbling]. Iniesta could have played the false 9 role if was a good...

Messi, Pele, Gerd Muller, Eusebio, Romario, Puskas, Di Stefano, Ronaldo, Van Basten Maradona, Cruyff, Garrincha, Platini, Zico, Xavi, Iniesta, Best, Zidane, Laudrup, Matthaus, Beckenbaeur, Gento, Socrates, Ronaldinho... I might have forgot some... These players are easily better than...
