- For the last decade, Messi and Ronaldo has shared the Balon d'or and its getting boring as no other player has been able to match the qualities the duos posses. A few players has been tipped to over throne the God's of soccer but throne seems not to be vacant anytime soon as this brilliant duos gets better with age. Bale, Neymar, Hazard and Griezman has all been tipped to take over from the world finest players but the difference in quality is quite huge and the afore mentioned aren't getting younger.

In the champions league, Messi faced Hazard in a heated match with the later scoring three and assisting one across both legs in contrast to no goals from the Belgian. Hazard did put up an impressive display across both legs but it wasn't enough as Messi shouldered his team through. Messi who has scored over half a thousand goals has been pivotal to Barcelona's success over the years, scoring in big matches and finals like the champions league. The Argentine has won Balon d'or in five occasions and leads the list with old rival Ronaldo.

Real Madrid dumped PSG out of the champions league with Ronaldo scoring three and assisting one in both legs compared to Neymar's performance where he was not on the score or assist sheet.
Bale and Griezman on the other hand has fallen down the pecking order in the fight for the Balon d'or with inconsistent performances across the season. The former has been plagued with injuries, preventing him from developing into the player everyone tipped him to be and the later not able to see his team through the champions league group stage.
2017/2018 season is coming to a close and even though the world Cup has a major bearing on the Balon d'or, Ronaldo and Messi still stands favourite to continue their dominance in world football.

A lot of other players have been amazing all season but the Belgian and the African has been most outstanding. The duo has been pivotal to their clubs success this season and also fitting properly into their teams style of play. With Kane out injured till April, it might as well gifted the African the golden Boot as he tops the English man with three goals. De Bruyne is on course to lift the premier league title while his counterpart is helping out his team to make the top four.
