Don't stop the debate. No.

Shortly after this triumph, social networking debates began on who is the best player in football history, writes Periscopi.

Ronaldo, in this race, finished third, after Mess as winner and Virgil van Dijk, who took second place.

Agent Jorge Mendes has insisted that Cristiano Ronaldo should be known as the best player in history, despite the loss of the Golden Ball.

“Cristiano is the best player in history, you know that”, has declared Mendes in front of journalists at CHAran Gala del Calcioão.

Ronaldo ranks second in Golden Balls with five triumphs. /Periscopi/
