Manchester United forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, has labelled
an Instagram post criticizing the decision to award Lionel Messi his seventh
Ballon d’Or as “fact”.
Ronaldo was absent at the ceremony in Paris on Monday but
had to watch on as his eternal rival claimed yet another prize.
Messi has now won two more than the 36-year-old, whose last
Ballon d’Or came back in 2018.
Ronaldo only ranked sixth in this year’s list, below Messi,
Robert Lewandowski, Jorginho, Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kante.
An Instagram account, with the handle cr7.0_lendario, listed
all of the Portugal captain’s achievements this season, which includes breaking
the international goalscoring record.
It wrote: “43 goals in the year, 6 goals in 5 games in this
Champions League, all decisive and a guy who, regardless of age, continues to
work miracles and is the guy who most impresses the world most often.
“They still put the guy in 6th… Do you really think that 5
guys did more than him in the year? Never.”
Ronaldo simply replied to the post by saying “facts” with a
thumbs-up emoji.
