RIGHT NOW: CHRISTIANO RONALDO IS THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD

With the rare fall in form, stature and injuries of Lionel Messi, CR7 surely landed the last sucker punch in the race the for  Ballon d'Or.
He said he didn't want to talk about it, but he didn't have to: the Ballon d'Or was on everyone's lips at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday.

Straight after beating Real Sociedad 5-1, Ronaldo said: "I demonstrate [my abilities] on the 

pitch."

He had done that on an eventful evening, which started with a fierce strike which rattled the crossbar (the sixth time he had hit the woodwork in La Liga this season) and then gave Madrid the lead with a well-worked team goal capped with a fine finish.

Then there was an assist for Karim Benzema to make it 2-0, later a penalty which he himself won and then converted, before his 20th free-kick goal for Real in the second half and a cross to Alvaro Morata for what should have been 6-1 but was woefully wasted by the youngster.

"Cristiano, Ballon d'Or!" the Bernabeu sang. Votes for the prestigious individual award close on November 15 and this was Ronaldo's last chance to impress. He did so emphatically.
