Baloon D or prize mostly focus on the performance of UCL. In previous season Real Madrid won the UCL and both were part of it. Modric is a midfielder and better placed to have more assists and ball control while the only aim for Ronaldo is to score, yet CR7 assist last season was 8 and the Modric assist was 9. Both players were in class last season and both won trophies and Modric won the world cup golden ball too. They both deserve Baloon D or.

Every position in football is important. Goal Keeper saves the ball, defender prevents opponents to score, midfielder create chances but aim for the team is to win matches and win trophies. But without finishing skill there is no goal and without goals, there is no win and no trophies, don't matter how beautifully your team played. CR7 is a great finisher and not everyone can score on created chances. If you watch CR7 playing, he barely misses chances. Last season too CR7 was the most important person to win UCL and for me, he deserves little more than Modric for Baloon D or prize.
