There was a picture recently circulating on social media that seemed to suggest that Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi has won the 2017 Ballon d'Or. However, reports have emerged that it is Cristiano Ronaldo who has won the prestigious annual award for the fifth time - tying up with his famous rival Argentine rival Messi.
As per a report in Spanish newspaper Don Balon, Ronaldo, in a phone call to Messi, revealed that he has been chosen as the winner of this year's Ballon d'Or.
A front cover of a French football magazine was doing the rounds on Twitter which had Messi as the winner of 2017 Ballon d'Or. But if latest reports are to be believed, it's not the case.
While the year 2016-17 belonged to Ronaldo who led Real Madrid to a second straight Champions League title, the current season has seen Messi making a head-start with 16 goals in 17 games already. On the other hand, the Portuguese has scored eight times in 13 games with just one of them in La Liga.
