The name of Cristiano Ronaldo has gone back to be news, but no by his performances in the Arab League with the To the-Nassr, but by a curious moment related with the Balloon of Gold. In spite of have not participated in the gala, after almost 20 years to be constantly in list of candidates, since in this opportunity did not remain in the cut of the 30 nominated finals, the Portuguese forward has called the attention in Instagram.

In a post in his Christian @account, the ex of the Real Madrid has given him 'like' and has commented with emojis of caritas risueñas a publication of 'ACE TV' in which the journalist Tomás Roncero expressed his opinion on the eighth Balloon of Gold of Messi. The Spanish stood out ironically the reasons of the triumph of the Argentinian and aseveró that at least three of these Balloons of Gold were not deserved, mentioning the ones of 2010, 2021 and the one of this year, suggesting that they were gifts.

 

The gesture of Cristiano Ronaldo generated speculations in the social networks. Some interpreted his 'winks' as a mockery in support to the words of the Spanish journalist, whereas others interpreted it of opposite way, like a form of disapproval to the expressed by Tomás Roncero.

Leo Messi agreed of Christian after winning the Balloon of Gold

By his part, Leo Messi also agreed of 'CR7' but no in the social networks, but in an interview with 'L'Équipe' and of a less controversial way and more admirativa. 'The Flea' signalled the sportive battle between both, mentioning that they fed mutually because of his competitiveness. It recognised the merit to keep in the peak during so much time and remembered that it was a spectacular period for the lovers of the football.

It is important to stand out that so much the Argentinian, with eight Balloons of Gold, like the Portuguese, with five, dominated the premiación from 2008 until 2017, until Luka Modrić broke this hegemony in 2018. The ex of the Barça recovered the prize in 2019 and alone Karim Benzema interposed in 2022. Now, it expects that Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé, two of the big current talents of the world-wide football, can establish a similar rivalry in the future.
