Cristiano Ronaldo is only the 19th best player of the world?

This saturday, Cristiano Ronaldo will fight for his 4th Champions League title, and, no matter the results, he will probably win his 5th Ballon d'Or.

However, according to WhoScored statistics, the Real Madrid star is only the 19th best player of the world this season. He has a rating of 7.61 in 2016/2017.

Cristiano Ronaldo's rating is at his lowest since 2009, when he joined Real Madrid. He has never had a score below 7.99 (which was his rating at 2015/2016).

Again, according to WhoScored, the best player of the world right now is Neymar (8.52), slightly better than Lionel Messi (8.47). Then, Thiago Alcantara (8.28).

However, there is also no doubt that Cristiano Ronaldo has been the most decisive player in the continental competition. Of all 10 goals, 8 were in knockout stage: 5 against Bayern Munich, 3 against Atletico Madrid.

What do you think about this? How does the rating justify his performance this season?
Has he been more irregular? Does he deserve this season's Ballon d'Or?

PS: Please, don`t start a flame war here. Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are both wonderful players. Period.

Admittedly, Ronaldo has been a shell of himself the past two years, which is a result of the injury he picked up in 2014. But... 19th? Seriously? I'd put him 3rd after Messi and Suarez and not any lower.

Ronaldo has been garbage recently compared to HIS standards and NOT anyone else. Get outta here with this BS... Stats don't lie but they don't tell the whole truth! Remember prime Falcao? The guy scored 36 and 34 goals from 11/12-12/13 and everyone and their mommas thought that this guy was the ultimate truth; that finally someone would put an end to Ronaldo/Messi reign. Ronaldo already has 40 goals in his worst season. Oh the blasphemy.

Ronaldo's season is bad when compared to HIS standard from the previous years, because in all honesty, this guy has better numbers on a bad year than another guy who's having the time of his life.

I always believed Messi is better than Ronaldo, in fact I still do but.. HOW?

If Messi would score 3 past Atletico nobody would deny his claim as the best player of the season but when it's Ronaldo...

Messi was invisible in some games this season and in other minor games he shined. Ronaldo while not beeing so stylish, flashy, beautiful to the eye is in the UCL final and scored a hattrick on his way to a 3-0 win in the 1st leg.

Compare yourselves 3 major goals vs ATL and 3 world class beautifull goals vs any La liga team with no title hopes. What would you choose?

Give Ronaldo a break....he is 32!

@Madridista Spot on mate, his stats remain solid however and out of this world for any striker not called Ronaldo, fact is that we used to have Allien stats and more Motm performances but his acceleration loss is limiting his old abilities... always objective mate respect.
@Joze right mate, but in Messi's case, he disappeared like 3 games and I don't calling it disappearing : He simply got not help in some games like Juve and PSG away who summed Barca squad limits this season defensively and tactically with Enrique. You can have all the talent and the consistency in the world, if you're not helped vs an organized team, you cant do nothing specially when you drop deep to create chances that does not go through...

The stat I love the most is the number of Motm a player has, that's a good sign of how incredible he was during a season. But that's my own criteria.
