Since 2009, Messi has claimed 5 Ballon d'Or awards with Cristiano Ronaldo claiming only 4 and will be confirmed as the winner of the 2017 Ballon d'Or award on Thursday.
Messi have obviously performed better this season, but Ronaldo has shown his capacity when it is very necessary. For his performances in the latter stages of La Liga and the Champions League, Ronaldo definitely deserves to win the 2017 Ballon d'Or award.
