Chart shows how much Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have dominated the world of soccer for the last 11 years
On Thursday, Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo was once again named the top footballer in the world when he won the 2017 Ballon d'Or.

In fact, Ronaldo and Messi have been so dominant in the world of soccer that they have combined to win the last ten Ballon d'Or awards and have finished second another ten times in the last 11 years. Over the last 11 years, they have combined to finish first or second in the voting 20 times. Everybody else has done it two times.
