Cristiano Ronaldo reacted with humor to the fact that Lionel Messi was once again crowned Ballon d’Or.
Cristiano Ronaldo failed to congratulate Lionel Messi on his new Ballon d’Or victory. Instead, he had fun taunting him on social media.
Ronaldo’s unclassy reaction
Messi won his eighth Ballon d’Or on Monday, after leading Argentina to victory in the World Cup last year. And that’s three more than Ronaldo, who hasn’t been crowned since 2017.
Seeing the Inter Miami star win the trophy, the head of football for the daily AS, Tomas Roncero, published a video in which he belittles La Pulga’s triumph: “As a tribute, it’s very good. It’s a very beautiful tribute. But, we know he is already retired in Miami.”
“In the World Cup, he was good, with six penalties in his favor. I don’t remember the World Cup, it took place in 2022. And he scored until August 2023. Five Ballons d’Or were well deserved, but three others were given to him. »
A critical opinion which sparked a reaction from CR7. The latter posted a response with several laughing emoticons. While Messi paid tribute to him in his last interview, the Portuguese found nothing better than to make fun of the new coronation of his great rival.
