/ “Sportsbrief”, a website specializing in sports news, reported that the Portuguese football star, captain of the Saudi Al-Nasr club, Cristiano Ronaldo, commented sarcastically on the crowning of his Argentine rival and American club Inter Miami star, Lionel Messi, with the Ballon d’Or for the eighth time.
Messi won the Golden Ball at a ceremony held yesterday, Monday, in the French capital, Paris, after beating his former colleague in Paris Saint-Germain, French international Kylian Mbappe, and Manchester City star and the best player in Europe, Norwegian Erling Haaland.
Messi was crowned with this award after he finally succeeded in leading his country to win the World Cup at the end of 2022 in Qatar.
Messi won the Ballon d’Or for the eighth time in his legendary career, moving away from the top of the list of winners, three titles ahead of his rival Ronaldo, who was originally absent from the list of 30 candidates for the prestigious award in 2023.
Ronaldo reacted sarcastically to his rival’s crowning of the eighth Ballon d’Or, as he placed symbols of faces laughing sarcastically on the video of the Spanish “AS” channel’s analysis on “Instagram” of “The Flea” winning the award.
Broadcaster Thomas Roncero appeared in the video, criticizing the awarding of the Ballon d’Or to Messi, saying, “Hello, friends… What happened is what everyone knows. They gave Messi the Ballon d’Or again… He went to retire in Miami, but it looked like he had already retired in Paris Saint-Germain.” Germain to prepare for the World Cup.”
He added mockingly, “Messi won the World Cup. Yes, well, but he won it with 6 penalty kicks. The World Cup was held and ended 10 months ago and we are in November now.”
