It may not be Messi’s fault that the Conmebol qualification system meant Argentina’s progression to the finals was never in doubt, but the fact that Ronaldo has delivered again and again in a string of do-or-die Portugal performances says a lot about the pair’s differing fortunes in 2013. While the Barcelona genius has had a quiet spell by his massive standards, Ronaldo has turned in arguably his greatest ever year. Tuesday simply topped it all off. If the Ballon dOr voting is reopened as has been reported, the Ronaldo could well win the award on the strength of one night alone, so good was he against Sweden. As it is Franck Ribery remains the favourite to carry it home, but there is no doubting who the world’s most in-form player is as we approach the 200-day countdown to the World Cup finals.
