C. Ronaldo believes that the Golden Ball and The Best awards have lost their inherent prestige.

In 2023, Messi has surpassed Haaland to win both of these noble awards. However, Messi’s awards caused great controversy when many people believed that Haaland deserved the award more.
Faced with that situation, C. Ronaldo affirmed that the Golden Ball and The Best awards lost their prestige. The striker said: “The Golden Ball and The Best have lost their inherent prestige. We have to analyze the entire season.
I’m not saying that Messi doesn’t deserve the award or that Haaland and Mbappe deserve it more. I don’t believe in these awards anymore.
I won a kind of award at Globe Soccer thanks to the numbers. Statistics never lie to you. They can’t take this award from me. Numbers always tell the truth.”

C.Ronaldo affirms that he is not out of time. He added: “If you look at what happened to me at Man Utd and the Portuguese team in previous years, many people said that my time was over. But now, I am more focused than ever and have time.” It was a wonderful time at Al Nassr. That’s why I scored 54 goals.”
C. Ronaldo’s statement created great controversy. Many people believe that CR7 has “touched” Messi and FIFA. Recently, the Portuguese superstar also created controversy when he declared that the Saudi Arabia national championship was better than Ligue 1 (France).
