Lionel Messi won his 7th Golden Ball on Monday. And it is undoubtedly the most criticized of the seven since many are those who believe that the trophy should have gone to Robert Lewandowski, even to Benzema or Jorginho.
But on the side of Cristiano Ronaldo fans, we also plead for the Portuguese who was content with a very meager 6th place. Thus, the Instagram account “cr7.o_lendario”, which totals 337,000 subscribers, recalled Ronaldo’s exceptional statistics with Juve and ManU in 2021 before concluding that the Portuguese “should have fought for the Golden Ball with Lewandowski” . And to regret that Messi finally won the cup. “For Cristiano to win the Golden Ball, he has to be 300% indisputable. For Messi, it’s the other way around: he can win it despite a low-key season. It’s a steal, a shame.”
Below this long post appears the comment of a user like no other: Cristiano Ronaldo in person. “Factos”, he simply posted with a thumbs-up smiley face and a big eyed smiley. Collecting 78,000 likes and 18,000 responses.
