Until Messi and Ronaldo are deep into their 30s will other players be able to challenge them for the Ballon Dor. Zlatan was at their level in a different way but hes now on the decline. Then theres another group of players in Neymar, Bale, Aguero, Sanchez, Ribery, Robben, Reus and Suarez who if the other two wernt around would be continually be in the battle.
Ozil is certainly capable, hes getting to his best at the moment, he is like a ghost when at his best popping up everywhere, his technical ability sometimes make him seem lazy. Hed get more assists for Arsenal if their build up play didnt take them so close to the goal he is fantastic in a quick attack. However a playmaker that dosnt score alot of goals will never win the big prize.
