Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have dominated world football for many years. The two also mostly decided on the Ballon d’Or, the award for world footballer of the year, between themselves.
Since 2008, the Argentinean and the Portuguese have taken home 12 of the 15 possible awards between them. Lionel Messi won the Ballon d’Or seven times (2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2016, 2019, 2021, 2023), Cristiano Ronaldo five times (2008, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017).
