C.Ronaldo's statement "touches" FIFA and Messi

Since 2017, C. Ronaldo has not won the Golden Ball (France Football magazine) or The Best (FIFA). During this time, Messi has won 3 Golden Balls and 3 The Best awards.

In 2023, Messi surpassed Haaland to win both of these prestigious awards. However, Messi's awards caused great controversy when many people thought Haaland deserved to receive the award more.

In that situation, C. Ronaldo affirmed that the Golden Ball and The Best awards have lost their prestige. The striker said: "The Golden Ball and The Best have lost their inherent prestige. We have to analyze the entire season.

I'm not saying Messi doesn't deserve it or Haaland or Mbappe deserve it more. I don't believe in these awards anymore.

I won a kind of award at Globe Soccer because of the numbers. Statistics never lie to you. They can't take this award away from me. The numbers always tell the truth."

C. Ronaldo insists he is not out of time. He added: "If you look at what happened to me at Man Utd and the Portuguese national team in previous years, many people said that my time was over. But now, I am more focused than ever and have had a great time at Al Nassr. That is why I scored 54 goals."

C. Ronaldo's statement has created a big controversy. Many people think that CR7 has "touched" Messi and FIFA. Recently, the Portuguese superstar also created controversy when he declared that the Saudi Arabian national championship is of better quality than Ligue 1 (France).
