His assist count wasnt twice that of Ronaldos, not even close, check your facts. Besides, numbers alone only matters if you break a record? Thats nice.

Record of most goals in a year stood there for more than 3 decade's. Hence the significance . You are purposefully ignoring the importance of Cdr and Messi's contribution in Wc qualifier's after Sebella took over ( if am not wrong) .He was made captian by Sebella after a Shambolic Copa America in previous year and Messi broked a national record to , was top scorer in qualifier's with 12 goals. definitely worth mention considering a hattrick vs piss poor sweden was celebrated like crazy by Madrid fan's

Breaking a 40 year old record had an obvious impact. It wasn't an ordinary record, no wonder it lasted so long. Doubt we'll see anyone scoring 91 goals in one year any time soon.

40 of the 91 goals scored by Messi were in the second semester of 2012, during the 12-13 season, in which Barça won la liga. Is it really that hard to understand? His run of scoring in 19 consecutive matches was also for that season.

By that logic, you could also say that Ronaldo deserved his Ballon dor by the fact that his goals in the group stages helped Real win CL in 2014. Predicting the future is not really something that Ballon dor should consider too much.

First, check your assist numbers, but i guess you wont. So you are telling me that a certain number is important, regardless of the trophy-haul? Good to know.

I was just pointing his goals weren't meaningless as you stated. What made Messi win the bdor that year were his record of 91, his performances with Argentina(helped them qualify as 1st place, not thru play-offs), and for having at least the cdr to show for. cr's win in 2013 happened thanks to a corrupted move with the reonpening of votes, something that had never ever happened before.

Still hanging on that assist part. even if i am wrong that doesn't deny the fact that He assisted more than Ronaldo and won a trophy was top scorer in Wc qualifier's by breaking National record... compare that to Ronaldo's achievement in 2013. if you still have the audacity to say that Ronaldo was better in 2012, then i give up .He and his Pr team was crying like kids about the conspiracy against him and forced Blatter to extend voting dates in 2013 . There is nothing more shameful than that . Scum club , Pathetic player's , joke of a team owner , and a bunch of Buffoon's among journalist's .

The league starts in August and finishes in May, whats your point?

Point is you play more liga match's before voting end's compared to Ucl which Start's in sep -oct. So your argument of Ronaldo's goal's in ucl contributing to the success in 2014 doesn't hold's any value

You made the claim, im pretty sure what the number is, but the burden of evidence is upon you.

Not a pathetic claim than 'lousy CDR' , still even if am wrong , Messi assisted more than Ronaldo in that season and i am sure margin will be significantly higher. Still you didn't said a word about Cdr and Messi's achievement for Argentina that year including a National record after being appointed as captian :)

If only one could predict the future before every single ballon dor.
But essentially, its an argument of numbers at this point. Messis 90-something goals were more than good enough,, while Ronaldos 70 goals are being laughed at. Yes, Messi statpadded better, but the argument is almost the same. Is cdr really the big argument for Messis ballon dor in 2013?

You made the claim that Messi assisted twice as much, evidence?

Cdr + guiness world Record + National record + finishing top in latin America rather than ending in play off Zone.

i already replied even if am wrong it doesn't deny the fact that he scored more , assisted more , won Cdr , breaked national record , his team was top in latin America :)

So, except for the "glorious" cdr, you guys are justifying 2012 ballon dor on the fact that he had better numbers than Ronaldo, despite Ronaldo winning the bigger trophy. Next year Ronaldo won the ballon dor with less trophies and better numbers than Messi, but that was a "scandal". I dont get this. Its almost the same scenario, just backwards.
