Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo confirms Lionel Messi's Ballon d'Or win was 'dirty and shameful'

The Portuguese star liked the post, which heavily criticized the award given to Messi.

Cristiano Ronaldo seems quite annoyed that his biggest rival, Lionel Messi, has won the Ballon d'Or.

The Portuguese star liked the article that a fan page on Instagram shared in response to Messi's receiving the award and wrote "Facts" under it.

In the article in question, Messi's receiving this award is interpreted as "ugly and shameful".

Ronaldo's fan page, noting the records and championships won by the star football player, wrote:

"Italy Cup.

Italian Super Cup.

Top scorer of Euro 2020.

He is the top scorer of the Italian Serie A.

He is Juventus' top goal scorer in the 2020/21 season.

He is Manchester United's top scorer in the 2021/22 season.

He is the official top scorer in football history.

Top scorer in European Championship history

43 goals a year, 6 goals in 5 games in this Champions League, all decisive and the man who continues to work miracles regardless of age and influence the world the most.

They still put the man in 6th place. Do you really think 5 guys did more than him in a year? Never.

He could compete with Lewandowski for this award. Bayern had a better season than Manchester United. But Ronaldo is better internationally.

And who does the prize go to? Only to Messi, who won the King's Cup with Barcelona. And because he won the Copa America, which should happen every 4 years. Messi failed to score in neither the final nor the semi-finals and is having a poor season with PSG individually.

Cristiano must win this award 300%, undisputed.

They always find a way to favor Messi and give him the prize. It is a pity that this award was stolen from Ronaldo. Dirty and embarrassing.

Anyone smart enough knows who deserves it. Receiving an undeserved reward is a proud, false happiness.

Regardless of these awards, CR7 will always be the best in history!”
