On Monday, Lionel Messi was awarded with the eighth “Golden Ball” trophy, which is also a historical record.
However, there were people who disagreed with this – believing that this trophy should go to Erling Haaland.
One of them is the Spanish journalist, Tomas Roncero, who said in a video for “Diario AS” that the trophy should have gone to the Manchester City striker
Hello friends. What we knew happened. They gave another ‘Golden Ball’ to Messi. He went to retire at (Inter) Miami, but he was already looking at retiring at PSG to prepare for the World Cup. He won the World Cup, yes, but with 6 penalties in his favor. The World Cup was 10 months ago, we are in November. Messi has eight ‘Golden Balls’, he should have five. He has the Ballon d’Or of Iniesta, Xavi, Lewandowski – who won six trophies in one season – and Haaland, who was the best scorer of all,” he said.
The Spanish medium published his statement on “Instagram”, where Cristiano Ronaldo would respond. The Portuguese, who had a great rivalry with Messi for many years, liked the post, as well as commenting with some laughing emojis.
Ronaldo’s reaction suggests that he too is of the opinion that Messi did not deserve to win the “Golden Ball”.
