Messi has shared first and second place with fellow five-time winner Cristiano Ronaldo over the past ten years, and this was the first year since Kaka won in 2007 in which neither of them emerged victorious.Instead it was Luka Modric who claimed the Ballon dOr, with Ronaldo second, Antoine Griezmann third and Kylian Mbappe fourth.Reflecting on his decade-long battle with Ronaldo, Messi added: The time we were in the same league and trying to win with our teams was very nice.It was a very healthy rivalry in which we both wanted to improve ourselves.And it was good for the spectators!
