Cristiano Ronaldo supporters have insisted that the Portuguese forward is still the GOAT despite Lionel Messi winning an 8th Ballon d'Or.
Lionel Messi won a record-extending 8th Ballon d'Or on Monday night in Paris, creating a wider gap between himself and Cristiano Ronaldo who remains on 5.
A large section of football fans and observers declared Messi the greatest of all time after leading Argentina to World Cup glory last December in Qatar.
Ronaldo, who now plays for Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr has never hidden his desire to win even more Ballon d'Ors but his fans believe he is still the greatest no matter what Messi wins.
