On Monday, footballer Lionel Messi was awarded

his seventh Ballon d’Or in Paris.

The Paris Saint-Germain star was given the

prestigious French football award at the 65th annual
ceremony, but his rival Ronaldo seemingly thinks
that he deserved it more.

When a fan account ranted about how Ronaldo was

robbed of the Ballon d’Or this week, the footballer
himself showed his agreement in the comments.

Fan claims Ronaldo deserved Ballon

d’Or

A popular Instagram Ronaldo fan account called

@cr7.o_lendario, who has 325,000 followers, took to
Instagram to post their reaction to Messi winning the
Ballon d’Or.

First, they listed Ronaldo’s many achievements this

year before saying: “Regardless of his age,
[Ronaldo] is a guy who continues to perform
miracles and impresses the world most often.”

He then went on to say that Ronaldo was robbed

and deserved the Ballon D’Or over Messi, writing:

“Cristiano was way better, and the prize goes to

who? For Messi, who only won Copa do Ei for
Barcelona, hasn’t scored a goal against Real Madrid
since Cristiano left and missed in the big games of
the season.”

The Instagram user continued to list Messi’s lack of

achievements before saying:

“For Ronaldo to win this award he has to be 300%

unquestionable. It’s not use scoring the most
beautiful goal of the the year, being champion of
everything for a club, top scorer of everything and
scoring a hat-trick in the world cup.”

“With Messi, it’s the opposite. He can have a low

season, way down, they’ll always find a way to
favour him and give him the award. Steal. Dirt.
Shame. It’s just unfortunate,” he concluded before
adding:

“Those who are intelligent enough know who

deserves the truth. Receiving awards without
deserving it, is false happiness, without pride.
Regardless of those awards, C27 will always be the
best in history.”

Ronaldo comments ‘Factos’

Ronaldo himself read the fan’s Instagram post and

decided to show his support in the comments.

He commented the word “Factos” alongside a

thumbs up and eyes emoji, which means “facts” in
Spanish and Portuguese.

The Manchester United footballer was seemingly

saying that he agrees that he deserved the Ballon
d’Or, and the comment was a sly dig at his rival
Messi.

Ronaldo says winning Ballon d’Or

awards isn’t his ambition

Despite commenting “Factos” and claiming he

deserved the Ballon d’Or awards, Ronaldo recently
revealed that winning more Ballon d’Ors isn’t his
only ambition.

On Friday, days before the Ballon d’Or ceremony,

French editor Pascal Ferre told the New York Times:
“Ronaldo has only one ambition, and that is to retire
with more Ballons d’Or than Messi – and I know that
because he has told me.”

Ronaldo then slammed his claims on Instagram,

writing: “Pascal Ferre lied, he used my name to
promote himself and to promote the publication he
works for.”

“It is unacceptable that the person responsible for

awarding such a prestigious prize could lie in this
way, in absolute disrespect for someone who has
always respected France Football and the Ballon
d’Or,” he continued.

“The biggest ambition of my career is to win national

and international titles for the clubs I represent and
for the national team in my country. The biggest
ambition of my career is to leave my name written in
golden letters in the history of world football.”
