Cristiano Ronaldo publicly agrees with damning attack on ‘thief’ Lionel Messi after Man Utd ace’s Ballon d’Or heartbreak


CRISTIANO RONALDO has branded claims made by a fan page that Lionel Messi stole the Ballon d’Or from himself and Robert Lewandowski as ‘facts’.

The Paris Saint-Germain star pipped Lewandowski to the award by just 33 points.

But also conceded the Bayern Munich striker deserved a Golden Ball of his own after his incredible achievements in 2020.

Ronaldo – who finished sixth – wasn’t in attendance to watch his rival collect his seventh Ballon d’Or.

He stayed in England, but couldn’t resist having a pop on Instagram.

A Ronaldo fan page slammed Messi’s achievements from last season, comparing them to CR7’s on Instagram, before saying: “Steal. Dirt. Shame. It’s just unfortunate.

“Who saw it, saw it. Those who are intelligent enough know who deserve the truth.

“Receiving awards without deserving it, is false happiness, without pride.

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

Ronaldo replied: “Facts.”

The comment caught traction, receiving over 30,000 likes and 10k-plus comments.

Ronaldo is evidently upset finishing outside the top three for the award for the first time in 11 YEARS.

And the 36-year-old even hit out at the awards chief, who he says made false claims about wanting to finish his career with more Ballon d’Ors than Messi.

The United star wrote: “Today’s outcome explains why Pascal Ferre’s statements last week, when he said that I confided in him that my only ambition was to finish my career with more Ballons d’Or than Lionel Messi.

“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.

“And he lied again today, justifying my absence from the Gala with an alleged quarantine that has no reason to exist.”
