Cristiano Ronaldo ‘irons’ Lionel Messi’s Ballon d’Or award and drives the internet crazy
The Argentinian was elected as the best player in the world for the eighth time, beating names like Haaland and Mbappé
Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are once again the topic
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi , two of the greatest players in the history of football, were once again the main topic of conversation in the football world this Tuesday.
Yesterday, Lionel Messi received the Ballon d’Or award for the eighth time in his career. The Argentine overtook names like Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé.
Currently at Inter Miami, in Major League Soccer, the Argentine received the award largely due to his great performance in the 2022 World Cup, which he won.
In addition, the striker also recorded 41 direct goal contributions in the 41 games in which he was on the field in the colors of Paris Saint-Germain. There were 21 goals and 20 assists.
Portuguese ‘mocked’ Argentine’s award
However, the one who didn’t seem to like it very much was Cristiano Ronaldo. This is because, in an AS publication, the Portuguese commented on some laughing emojis.
The post congratulated Lionel Messi on winning the Ballon d’Or. The subject, of course, quickly had repercussions on the web, becoming one of the most talked about topics of the moment.
Since arriving in United States football, Lionel Messi has played 14 games, with 11 goals scored and another 5 assists provided to his teammates.
Cristiano, in turn, has scored 20 goals in 20 games played for Al-Nassr this season, in addition to another eight assists provided. He is 38 years old.
