When Sepp Blatter said that Cristiano Ronaldo is like a 'commander on the field of play', he probably was referring to the Real Madrid star's absolutely magnificent exploits in front of goal.
But the Portuguese took it the wrong way!
This 2013 alone, the forward has found the net a staggering 69 times and assisted his teammates 17 times. In the 2013/14 season alone, he has hit 27 in all official competitions for his club, orders higher than the goals both his rivals for the 2013 Ballon d'Or have.

Injured Messi, who is set for a January return, has 14 while their German counterpart, Ribery has a measly 12 in all competitions.
