In this list, Ronaldo ranked 42nd, Messi ranked 27th. Last year, Ronaldo was even knocked out of the top 50 when he only ranked 51st.
It is understandable that Ronaldo and Messi have been ranked low in recent polls. Both have left European football, with Messi playing in the US and Ronaldo playing in Saudi Arabia.
Although Ronaldo and Messi still have contributions to the national team, that is not enough to help them receive recognition from the judges participating in the vote.
