The family of the Al-Nassr forward also expressed their opposition to the figure of Inter Miami.
Lionel Messi has 3 more Ballon d’Ors than Cristiano Ronaldo
Lionel Messi was confirmed as the player of the year after being awarded the Ballon d’Or. The star who now plays for Inter Miami received the eighth award given by France Football. Clearly, Messi is the top winner, having won more than half of the last 15 balls given away. After having received the prestigious award and having given his speech on the stage of the theater that hosted the event, it was time to have contact with the press, where the 10th left some topics to analyze.
At a press conference he was asked if he plans to share his award with the Argentine fans on November 16 at La Bombonera, where the world champion team will host Uruguay. “There is nothing discussed, but it would be very good to share it with the people of Argentina. As I said, this award is for the entire Argentine National Team and for all the people for what they achieved in the World Cup. I always shared it in my clubs, especially in Barcelona. And it would be good to be able to do it with the people of Argentina too, for ‘Dibu’ (Emiliano Martínez) to show his, I think it is an award for everyone,” he expressed.
After the award that Leo Messi won, a controversy broke out over a comment by Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese, from his Instagram, commented with laughing face emoticons on an editorial by a Madrid journalist that criticized the award won by the Rosario player. “Friends, what we knew happened. As a tribute it’s fine, to the career. He retired a few months ago in Miami. The last year in Paris he already seemed retired, he prepared to play in the World Cup. The World Cup was good, it had 6 penalties in favor, a historical record,” was part of the comment by Tomás Roncero who, in addition to the comment, received a ‘Like’ from CR7.
New chapter in the controversy
After Cristiano’s interaction with the journalist who criticized Messi, the one who joined the controversy was Katia Aveiro, sister of the Al-Nassr forward. A Cristiano Ronaldo fan Instagram account posted a photo of the Portuguese with his individual awards and added: “Earned, not given.” The striker’s sister not only liked it but also commented with emoticons that endorsed the publication.
