Playing club football in 2007 [according to soccernet]:
Kaka- 46 games [18 goals, 9 assists]
Directly contributed to 27 team goals.
Ronaldo- 48 games [23 goals, 20 assists]
Directly contributed to 43 team goals.

maybe true, but only one of them showed up on a rainy Milan night last April. Unfortunately that's what it takes. If you judge a great player as truly great if they win a CL or a WC, then you have to hold the Golden Ball winners to the same standard or at least weighted heavily.
