Bitterness at… his absence from the biggest awards of the year, the Ballon d’Or and FIFA The Best, both of which ended up in the hands of Lionel Messi, appeared to carry Cristiano Ronaldo.
In an interview with the Record, he was asked if it bothers him that he was not even in the first choices for these two awards, while the winner also plays in a non-major league (MLS) he replied:I’m used to it and I know how these organizations work. To be honest, I didn’t watch The Best awards ceremony. I think that, in a way, these awards lose their credibility. You have to analyze the whole season. I don’t want to say that Messi or Haaland or even Mbappe didn’t deserve it. I just don’t believe in these awards anymore. And it’s not because he won at Globe Soccer. But they are facts, they are numbers. And the numbers don’t lie».
As for the 54 goals he scored, the Portuguese star said: “It is difficult to score goals, whether in Saudi Arabia, Italy, Spain or Portugal. A goal is a goal. In a way, I feel even more proud to beat Haaland, Mbappe and Kane. It’s surprising if you look back and see what happened at Manchester United and the national team, where people thought I was lost. But the truth is that I concentrated and had a great season at Al Nasr, that’s why I scored 54 goals».
