Did you even see his dribble vs Peru and Australia ? the pass vs Netherlands ? The assist vs Croatia ? The goal vs Australia ? The goal vs Mexico ? These are all in just last 10 months. Do you really think Cristiano was a good player in the world cup ? When was the last time Cristiano did something and you thought "well only he can do something like this "

This means he IS not that good of a player he ever WAS. He was. Age happens. It will happen to Messi too. The bias is there because majority of people prefer Messi over Cristiano. There can be tons of reasons to that but that's a fact.

Last 6 matches of messi were against opponents ranked 22,38,27,38,45,90.

Cristiano last 7 matches are against - 2 against (199) ranked, 2 against (85) ranked, and 48,63,67.

This is all from last 10 months. Seeing this can you really infer he is the best player right now ? He hasn't scored against a team ranked <48 in these 10 months.
