Messi has done it again. What do we think - does this make him the best player ever? Should Ronaldo have won it given he won the bigger trophies? If he is not considered the greatest ever now what would make him the greatest ever?

Personally I think that he can't be considered the greatest ever until he does one or both of the following - prove himself under a different system in a different league, or lift the world cup.

Also it is difficult to call anyone the best ever when the game has changed so much over the years and we have poor footage (or no footage at all) of the greats from yesteryear.
