There were 54 celebrations with the shirt of Al Nassr of Saudi Arabia and the Portuguese national team, to surpass Erling Haaland, Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappe AND Lionel Messi. It was the Argentine who won the two most important individual awards, because he won his eighth Ballon d’Or and a couple of weeks ago he received, in a tight final vote, The Best of FIFA.
The Portuguese star, this weekend, launched a harsh criticism of these two awards, which did not even include him in the final list of candidates. “They are losing credibility”launched Ronaldo, 38 years old.
“I think that in a certain sense these awards (Ballon d’Or and The Best) are losing credibility. We have to analyze the entire season”Cristiano noted in an interview with Portuguese newspaper Récord.
“I don’t want to say that Messi didn’t deserve it, nor (Erling) Haaland nor (Kylian) Mbappé. I simply don’t believe in these awards anymore”CR7 clarified the latest individual award received by the Argentine champion.
