common let's do some argue, who is best football player in current time.? I will say, obviously CR7 because he is the champ of current time and this year's Ballon d'Or will go to him. 
I will have to say Messi is the best, and C. Ronaldo is a very close second. In fact, very little separates them except that one is slightly older. I reckon Messi may still be able to achieve more than Ronaldo in the coming years.
