Cristiano Ronaldo slams Ballon d’Or chief over Lionel Messi “lies” after ceremony snub
The Daily Mirror says Cristiano Ronaldo tore into the Ballon d’Or organiser who claimed his “only ambition” was to end his career with more wins than Lionel Messi on the evening of the event.
The Manchester United superstar, 36, has won the golden ball five times while Paris Saint-Germain rival Messi, 34, now has seven gongs to his name.
Messi was a heavy favourite to triumph – and duly did – during a ceremony in the French capital on Monday night, where Ronaldo was not in attendance.
The Ballon d’Or is presented by magazine France Football, whose editor-in-chief stoked the rivalry between the two iconic footballers last week.
