Fully deserved IMHO Loads of goals, immense skill and a genuine matchwinner.

Still like Messi more mind.

I wonder if a Hearts player will ever win this?

Agreed, the most consistently great player last year.

No Hearts player will ever win the Balon d’Or,

Aye…he’s come along way since the day I watched him make his debut against Bolton…just wish he’d come back to Utd!!!!

It’s only because Shaun Maloney is injured

I like Frank Ribery’s take on things.

“I’ve done everything, I avoided injuries and I’ve given regular performances. Ronaldo scores a lot of goals, but Messi is always the best player in the world.”

Ronaldo had a good year, but he’ll never be considered as good as Messi, and I’ll bet that eats away at him and his narcissism…
