Ronaldo: “During my generation, the competition was much tougher than it is now, without wanting to speak less of Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. In my day, the stars were Zidane, Rivaldo, Figo, Ronaldinho and me. It was a better generation."

most of you don't really watch the guy and the mentioned players played. if you see zizo, Delima,Rivaldo, Ronaldinho played in any testimonial match you will see the natural skills from them. Not all about run and score goals. You can check there days a player cannot win 4ballon dor in a role because they are all skillful and not by goals but by accurate passings,vision,tactical ability,not about how many goals or hatricks you scored.. This days it's about goals,check the last player in who won ballon d'or in the post Messi and cr7 era. Kaka,was not the top scorer but about brilliant skills.. Lastly the competition was so tensed that Zidane will never votes for Delima when his also contest for the honor like Xavi and iniesta who will always voted Messi for the love and for the club to produce the best player in there clubs. Xavi deserved the balloon d'or yet he voted Messi just for Barcelona player to win it ahead of Madrid. this are the competition he meant

Award was given to players with technical abilities but now if u don't win trophies and add up incredible stat u wouldn't be considered. We had Xavi, Iniesta, Pirlo, Kroos, Salah, Rooney etc who were also good. Now that CR7 and Messi are not in the equation, I think balon d'or will come back to it's normal state like the R9, Zidane era where technical abilities and individual brilliance were the only parameters for judging the best player. CR7 and Messi took football to the highest level

True but Ronaldo and Messi did the unimaginable they changed the sport from how it was recognized…no one in that generation would’ve thought of scoring 40+ league goals consistently…it was inhuman…new to the sport
