The five times best in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo, caused controversy on social networks by commenting in agreement with a fan publication that criticized the Ballon d’Or award in which Lionel Messi won.

The instagram page, followed by the Portuguese star, praised his numbers in the 2020-2021 season, when he still wore the Juventus shirt, and criticized the 6th position in which Ronaldo was placed by journalists who voted for the award. In comments on the profile that was deactivated on Wednesday (1), CR7 wrote “facts”.
According to the publication, the award would be fairer if CR7 was competing for the first place with Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski, who had a winning season both in individual and group numbers – the Polish was second in the award. Also according to the page, Messi’s achievement was “simply regrettable”.
“Messi, who only won the Copa del Rey for Barcelona, hasn’t scored a goal against Real Madrid since Cristiano left, disappeared in the big games of the season, won the Copa America that was supposed to be every 4 years and they do it practically every year. He didn’t score in the final or in the semifinal. And he has been doing a weak season for PSG individually,” wrote the fan who also considered the award as theft, dirty and shameful.
Another controversy involving Cristiano Ronaldo and the France Football awards had already surfaced earlier in the week, hours before the event. At the time, the Manchester United star criticized the editor-in-chief of the French magazine, Pascal Ferré, who indicated that the Portuguese had an obsession with surpassing Messi’s number of golden balls and that he would only end his career when he reached that goal.
“Pascal Ferré lied, he used my name to promote himself and to promote the publication he works for. It is unacceptable that the person responsible for awarding such a prestigious prize can lie in this way, in an absolute disrespect for someone who has always respected France Football and the Ballon d’Or,” CR7 wrote on Instagram.
