There he is, the old uncle who beats everyone up during end-of-year family meals!
For the 26 392e time in his career, Cristiano Ronaldo was honored this Friday with an individual award. Like last year, the Portuguese star received the award for best player in the Middle East during the Globe Soccer Awards 2024 ceremony in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. During the evening, Vinícius was voted best player and best striker of the year.. Asked about the 2024 Ballon d'or, considered a competing ceremony, CR7 expressed its disagreement with the winner chosen by the jury of France Footballin the Rodri occurrence: “Vinícius should have won the Ballon d’Or. It was unfair. Rodri deserved it too, but the trophy had to go to Vinícius, because he won the Champions League and scored in the final. This is why I love Globe Soccer Awards. They are honest. »
Real Madrid in the spotlight
It is not surprising to see the Al-Nassr striker heap praise at the Globe Soccer Awards, since he himself was awarded the title of best player of the year six times during his career (at for comparison, Lionel Messi has only won this distinction once). Real Madrid have also carried out a real raid this year by winning eight awards via Vinícius, Jude Bellingham, Thibaut Courtois, Carlo Ancelotti and Florentino Pérez, all present (this time) to collect their reward(s).
Still on the microphone, Ronaldo also took the opportunity to address a new criticism of Ligue 1, which he definitely does not hold in his heart. « Is the Saudi Pro League better than L1? Easy, of course. I'm not saying that because I play there, I don't care what people say. Players should come and play there. Try sprinting in 38, 39, 40 degrees, sweating… All there is in France is PSG. They have the best players. The others are finished, that's a fact. I don't know why people are surprised »
We can't wait to see what excuse he comes out with when Brest lifts the C1 next May.
