Paris Saint-Germain star, Lionel Messi has doubted
Manchester United forward, Cristiano Ronaldo’s credentials to equal his tally
of seven Ballon d’Or wins.
On Monday night, Messi won the 2021 Ballon d’ Or for a
record-extending seventh time, beating Bayern Munich’s Robert Lewandowski and
Chelsea’s Jorginho to the prize.
Messi’s eternal rival, Ronaldo, who has won the Ballon d’ Or
five times, finished sixth this year.
The Argentine captain, who has rivalled Ronaldo throughout
his career, has now expressed confidence that no player will equal his
extraordinary seven Ballon d’ Or awards.
“I don’t know if the record [seven Ballon d’ Or awards] is
beatable,” Messi said during a post-ceremony press conference.
“I just have to accept it, but I am not sure if it can be
beaten. Seven is really impressive.”
Meanwhile, Spanish football expert, Guillem Balague, agreed
with Messi by insisting that no footballer can catch the former Barcelona
captain in the number of Ballon d’Or awards won.
When asked whether Ronaldo could catch Messi now, Balague
told Mirror Football: “I don’t think so. Nobody can catch Messi now.”
