Ronaldo took a jab at Messi’s by liking and commenting laughing emoticons on Instagram post by a Madrid journalist who was disrespecting messi for his 8th ballon d’or and how he was not a best player of tournament because of 5 penalties.For me that shows insecurity and hypocrisy of Ronaldo. And on other hand for Messi’s ballon d’or he was selected by majority of journalists,players and managers.So if they have chosen it then what could be done? It’s nearly impossible ballon d’or organizers will bribe them or something like that and the award criteria have been same over the years so either all awards (let’s say) from 2010 are unfair or are fair for all,there is nothing like they are unfair for two years and when Lewandowski gets they are fair.From the start international achievements played important role in getting ballon d’or so what’s the problem?
Check Quique Wolff’s vote and tell me it isn’t flawed. Lisandro Martínez didn’t have a better season than Haaland.
The “best” journalists voting means nothing if they’re biased and aren’t objective when they vote.
Or what about Portugal? They put Bernardo Silva and Vinicius before Mbappé, Haaland and Messi.
Of course the system is flawed.
However, this has nothing to do with Ronaldo being a petty child. That has always been the case with him.
That’s why they ask 100 journalists to vote from 100 different nations. We can have a couple of biased votes from some countries, but if you average the votes of 100 nations, it’s quite fair.
