Ronaldo Leads Messi in Reported Ballon d’Or Best-of-All-Time Poll

Cristiano Ronaldo is reported to be leading Lionel Messi in a public vote for a proposed Ballon d’Or Best of All Time honour. Ronaldo’s 2008 season, when he helped Manchester United win the Premier League and Champions League, is said to have attracted 62% of votes. Messi’s 2012 season, in which he scored 91 goals, is reportedly second with 13%. His 2023 World Cup-winning campaign for Argentina is also listed among the leading entries. The format rates individual Ballon d’Or-winning seasons, meaning Messi’s support is spread across several years. The poll is said to include only players who won the Ballon d’Or at least twice, including Ronaldo Nazario, Johan Cruyff, Michel Platini and Marco van Basten. If the reported vote and gala are confirmed, do you think a fan-paid poll can fairly settle the Ronaldo-versus-Messi debate?
