totally disagree with the bolded bit. You've basically get Iniesta who hasn't kicked his own arse in months. After that you're struggling, at various points in the last couple of years Ronaldo's had Benzema, Ozil, Higuain and Di Maria all on red hot form. It's hard to remember another player really stepping up for Barca other than Iniesta on the odd occasion, they've by and large been pretty guff when it's came to the crunch games, particularly because of that dreadful defence.
When you look at the number of goals Ronaldo gets laid on a plate for him I think it's hard to suggest his supporting act is anything other than brilliant, it's not as if he's digging his team out with individual goals on a regular basis.
.
. I said it quite a few times, I think you can make a case for all three and call all of them deserved winners, Messi being the best player in the world, Ronaldo scoring the most goals and Ribery being the best player in a treble winning team that played arguably the most dominant knockout stages of all time, setting some seriously impressive records in 2013 in Europe (highest semifinal goal difference, most consecutive CL games won (9 right now and we're not finished yet), 5 consecutive away wins (also not finished yet) and in the league (I won't even start to mention all the records we broke this year). It's not just a successful team, it's really record breaking, legendary stuff. Calling the best player of that team an undeserved winner is mind-boggling really and I really think you're confusing general ability of both players with actual influence in the teams winning games this year, but yeah, if you think the gap is that big, fair enough.
