Legendary Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo believes UEFA’s Ballon d’Or and FIFA’s The Best awards are losing their credibility.
Al Nassr superstar Cristiano Ronaldo made the comments in an interview with a Portugese sports newspaper after Dubai’s Globe Soccer Awards ceremony where he won multiple awards, including the best goal scorer of the year, according to India Today.
Notably, Argentina’s Lionel Messi won both awards in the 2022-23 season. Messi was one of the favourites to win the Ballon d’Or in the 2022-23 season after his maiden FIFA World Cup triumph in Qatar.
Cristiano Ronaldo said, “I think that, in a way these awards are losing credibility. We have to analyse the entire season. It’s not to say that Messi didn’t deserve it, or Haaland or even Mbappe, I simply no longer believe in these awards and it’s not because I won at the globe soccer but these are facts, the numbers are there and the numbers don’t deceive,”
“They can’t take this trophy away from me because it’s a reality, So it makes me even happier, because the numbers are facts,” Ronaldo said.
Ronaldo currently plays for Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League. His team is currently placed second in the league table, seven points behind leaders Al-Hilal after playing 19 matches.
