Revealed :Messi sends out confident message to Ronaldo after his undeserving 7th ballon d’or win over him .
Lionel Messi has admitted he is unsure
if his record of 7 Ballon d'Or wins will ever
be matched. The Argentine added that
the number of awards he has won were
'impressive'.
On Monday, France Football handed
out this year's Ballon d'Or, and Lionel Messi
edged out Robert Lewandowski. The
PSG star finished ahead in votes, with
the Bayern Munich star coming in second,
while Chelsea's Jorginho finished 3rd.
While speaking to the media after the
Ballon d'Or ceremony, Lionel Messi openly
admitted that his feat of 7 wins is unlikely
to be matched. He said in the press
conference:
"I don't know if the record is beatable
. I just have to accept it but I'm not
sure if it can be beaten. Seven
is really impressive."
Cristiano Ronaldo slams Ballon d'Or
chief for saying that his only
ambition is to win more awards
than Lionel Messi
Last week, France Football editor
Pascal Ferre revealed that Cristiano
Ronaldo wanted to end his career with
more Ballon d'Or awards than Lionel Messi.
However, the Manchester United star
has rebuffed the claims and blasted the
Frenchman for using his name for publicity.
Cristiano Ronaldo took to Instagram
to post:
"Pascal Ferre lied and used
my name to promote himself and
to promote the publication that
he works for. It's unacceptable for
the person responsible for handing
out such a prestigious award
to lie in this way and to show
disrespect to someone who has
always respected France Football
and the Ballon d'Or."
"He lied again today to justify my
absence from the ceremony
due to an alleged quarantine that
has no reason to exist. I always
congratulate whoever wins, in
tandem with the sportsmanship
and fair play that have underpinned
my career since the start and
I do that because I'm never against
anyone. I always win for myself
and for the clubs that I represent.
I win for myself and for those who
love me. I don't win against
anyone."
Lionel Messi's win has become a debate
in the world of football, with many of the
top footballers claiming it should have
been Robert Lewandowski or Jorginho
winning the award this year instead of the
Argentine.
