#5 Cristiano Ronaldo to Lionel Messi’s shadow
After winning almost every individual honour for the year 2016, Cristiano Ronaldo has well and truly cemented his place outside the shade of his nemesis Lionel Messi, who held the Ballon d’Or for three straight years from 2010 to 2012. However, according to various reports, the Portugal captain isn't in love with his new life outside the shadow of the Argentine.
It has been further reported that the former Manchester United winger doesn't like his tanned skin anymore and wants to get back the fair tone. It is for these reasons that the former Sporting starlet is playing below par, on purpose, so that he can get back to the shadow of the Argentina captain.
With a torrid start to the year 2017, it seems as though that reigning Ballon d’Or winner has already moved forward in strides towards the dark and small shadow of the Barcelona number 10.
