I think eto'o and Drogba were pretty close at their peak but does nationality really matter that much any more when half of the Belgium Squad and French Squad are made up of Africans, if Hazard or Pogba had to win it, does it mean an African sort of wins it?

Messi and Ronaldo are out of this world and no ones could come close to what they;ve done in recent years. I think crazy exploits like that regardless of nationality would win you the Balon'dor If Aubamayang or Salah scored 45 goals in a season and wins the league and champions league surely you cannot deny them.

African players do have to follow a harder path to Europes Elite but it doesn't mean they're any less talented
