I doubt we will ever see this type of domination of two players ever again.
I guess the interesting thing to discuss now is who will be the next winner who is not Ronaldo or Messi?

If he leaves juventus dybala could be in with a great shout I reckon. More than likely neymar though.

 

[rurikbird]

Neymar for sure.

Ronaldo’s goal scoring record is phenomenal but I’d rather watch Messi or even the likes of Suarez and Coutinho for entertainement value.
He’s incredible, but more of an amazing goal scoring machine.

The footballing world seems to have a lot invested in Neymar so he looks to be the next likely winner outside of those two.

Messi is having a good season so far so I guess he'll win it next time unless Barca collapse or PSG win the CL.
