He was good, scored an amazing FK (takes notes Christina!) ...maybe he could have scored that last chance. But it's over now.
And I feel after tonight's loss, winning the Ballon'd'or next year is nearly impossible
Dude, seriously?
Remember back in 2010 when everyone thought Sneijder should win the Ballon d'Or? He won the treble with Inter, and made it to the final in South Africa ! if that moster season/year didn't get him the Ballon d'Or, why should Ronaldo get it this year? he "only" won La Liga and the Supercup!
The Ballon d'Or is given to the best player in that year. Messi won Copa del Rey, Pichichi and the golden boot. and he also scored 73 for Barca and 82 counting NT! AND! he was the player who gave most assists!
Here is the stats for the calendar year 2012!
Messi: 42 games, 58 goals and 15 assists, a total of 73 goals he was directly involved in - Copa del Rey, Pichichi and The Golden Boot
Ronaldo: 45 games, 41 goals and 8 assists, a total of 49 goals he was directly involved in - La Liga and the Spanish Supercup
Ronaldo only won La Liga because he had Benzema and Higuain, helping the team scoring goals when he couldn't.
And the Supercup = Valdés (1 leg and 2 leg) Mascherano (2 leg) just sayin'
