The Ballon d'Or is regarded as assessing a player during a calendar year, while The Best is from summer to summer, hence Messi being awarded in September.Ronaldo finished as club's top scorer in every domestic competition he competed in before leading Portugal to Uefa Nations League glory over the summer.
