Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo has publicly backed claims made by a fan of the "Madeira missile" that Lionel Messi stole the Ballon d'Or from him and Polish striker Robert Lewandowski.
The Paris Saint-Germain star won the seventh Golden Ball award in his career, on Monday, beating the Bayern Munich striker by 33 votes.
Ronaldo - winner of five Golden Balls times - ranked sixth, 435 votes ahead of Messi, but the Manchester United striker mocked the victory of his Argentine rival, commenting "facts" on a fan leaflet detailing why the Portugal captain deserved to win the prestigious award at the expense of Messi.
The post, which was published on the page of a fan account called "Cristiano Ronaldo-Legendary" that Ronaldo himself follows, details Ronaldo's achievements in 2021 before describing the Messi award as "theft... filth... a shame... simply a pity... any smart person is as smart as possible." It is enough to know who the real deserving are.. winning prizes without deserving them..false happiness, and wasted pride.
The comment was below Ronaldo's pictures while he was playing with Juventus, Man United and the Portugal national team, in which he said, "43 goals a year, 6 goals in 5 matches in the Champions League, all decisive and a man - regardless of his age - continues to make miracles and is the most admired man in the world." In most cases".
The comment continued, "They still put the man in sixth place. Do you really think that 5 players did more than him in the year? Never.. He could fight for this award calmly and the battle would be good with Lewandowski who was amazing in terms of individual numbers and Bayern enjoyed With a better season than Juventus, he had a quieter season than United, but at the level of the national team for example, Cristiano was much better."

He added, "Who does the award go to? Messi, who only won the King's Cup with Barcelona, has not scored a goal against Real Madrid since Ronaldo's departure, disappeared in the major matches of this season, and won the Copa America, which was supposed to be held every 4 years and was held practically every year." .. He did not score in the final or in the semi-finals. He is having a weak season with Paris Saint-Germain on an individual level."
The comment concluded, "In order for Cristiano Ronaldo to win the award, he must be 300% ready and his level beyond doubt! .. There is no point, then, in scoring the most beautiful kicker of the year, or being the champion of everything in the club, the best scorer, and you scored a hat-trick in the Cup The world, they are still looking for a way to take his award .. With Messi, the opposite is true. He can give a mediocre performance, and they will always find a way to give him the award."
Messi's victory in the award was criticized a lot, as Jurgen Klopp - who usually described Messi as the best in the world - and German Toni Kroos and former Spanish goalkeeper Iker Casillas, were surprised by the decision.
Ronaldo was also involved in a row with the Ballon d'Or president over what he described as "lies", which Pascal Ferry, editor-in-chief of France Football, said the 36-year-old's ambition was to finish his career with more golden balls than Messi.
