#2 Ronaldo would’ve won more Ballon D'Ors than Messi
This might be one of the more debated predictions – but it is based on the criteria that has usually been deployed to judge the best footballer on the planet over the past decade. Ballon D'ors have always unfailingly been about the goals scored stat – denying the accolade to mercurial talents like Xavi and Iniesta in the process.
In a team with Ronaldo, every coach would mould Messi into a playmaker, most probably of a number 10 ilk – the partnership would be more devastating than anything football has ever seen. Ronaldo would score goals for fun with such service, and Messi would enjoy the presence of a teammate who can put away all the chances his magic can create.
But in the process, inevitably, Ronaldo will take centre stage due to the number of goals scored – taking home more Ballon D'Ors in the process.
