Lionel Messi won his eighth Ballon d’Or on Monday evening, sparking contrasting reactions in the world of football. Cristiano Ronaldo, absent from the list of nominees, finally broke his silence, but his enigmatic reaction continues to raise questions.
An eighth Ballon d’Or for Messi
On Monday evening, the world of football bowed once again to Lionel Messi when he was crowned with the Golden Ball for the eighth time in his career. This remarkable achievement consolidates his position as the most successful player in the history of this prestigious trophy. However, unlike his previous coronations, this award generated debates and diverse opinions among football observers. Some believe that Erling Haaland also deserved the title.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s mysterious reaction
Cristiano Ronaldo, who has “only” five Ballons d’Or to his name, was not present at the ceremony and remained silent for some time. However, he finally broke his silence in a cryptic way. The Portuguese commented on a video posted by a Spanish journalist from As using four “😂😂😂😂” emojis.
In the video, the journalist congratulated Messi on his eighth Ballon d’Or and shared his views on Messi’s previous titles won: “Hello friends, what we knew has become a reality. Messi would still receive the Ballon d’Or. Congratulations Leo, congratulations champion“. Cristiano Ronaldo’s reaction sparked speculation: was he making fun of Messi’s congratulations or the journalist’s opinion? The mystery persists, and everyone is free to interpret their emoticons in their own way.
