The whole thing is so dumb. Everybody knows that theoretical throne is open but the two of them reached arguably the highest individual levels that any player has ever hit and maintained it there or abouts for a good 10 years.

You can’t realise something and suddenly hit the levels of the greatest players of all time, they are all obviously trying to reach that but if you could do it by just wanting to then I’m sure we wouldn’t have had to wait 30/50 years to find people capable of competing with pele and Maradona for the title of the best to ever do it.

He could win 20 golden boots and that still wouldn't mean he reached CR7's level. Hilarious how some think for some reason that it is somehow easier to beat Ronaldo as opposed to Messi. Unless someone new comes along and manages to win at least 5 Balons d'Or I'm sorry, but those 2 are pretty clearly unreachable.

It’s also a spot almost always reserved for forwards which Jude isn’t, he would have to be maradona levels to get there and whilst I absolutely love him it would be an absolutely insane comparison to make lol
