Regardless of Real Madrid and Portugal superstar footballer, Cristiano Ronaldo being high favourite to win this year's fifa's high-quality awards and ballon d'or - first-rate eagles and african soccer legend, jay jay okocha feels the Portuguese is unlucky to be in the equal generation as his rival, Lionel Messi.
Ronaldo's heroics for actual madrid this season, assisting them win the uefa champions league and la liga titles manner he will most in all likelihood win his fifth ballon d'or award (leveling up with messi) and his 2d fifa quality award (surpassing messi who has none), but former psg and bolton wanderers superstar, jay jay okocha thinks differently.

"I have to be diplomatic here, especially as I’ve a lot of Portuguese friends, but I tend to lean towards Messi. He’s a more natural talent"
"Ronaldo is a fantastic player, one of the best I’ve ever seen, but he’s been a bit unfortunate to be of the same generation as Messi. Consequently, they have to share the limelight," he added.
"Messi and Ronaldo have dominated world football for a decade and, given the nature of football, at a certain point the baton will have to pass to someone else. "I think Neymar has a great chance of filling that role."
