Cristiano Ronaldo He has earned many awards, both individual and collective, throughout his long and prolific career. But now at the age of 38, in the Saudi League, and after winning the award for the best scorer in the Middle East at the Global Soccer Adwards, he throws a dart at the latest winners of ‘The Best’ and Ballon d’Or .
“I think, in a way, these awards lose credibility. We have to study the whole season. I don’t want to say that Messi or Haaland or even Mbappé don’t deserve it. I just don’t believe in these awards anymore. And not because he won Globe Soccer. But they are facts, they are numbers. And the numbers don’t lie,” Christian said in an interview with the newspaper ‘Récord’ when asked about the controversy that rocked The Best this week for the award that Messi took.
“We know how other organizations work. Obviously I always think about my club and the national team. I don’t think about that too much, to be honest. Of my 54 goals, some would say it’s easier because I’m in Saudi Arabia. But football professionals know that it is difficult to score goals, in Saudi Arabia, Italy, Spain or Portugal,” said the Portuguese star, defending that his scoring prowess should be appreciated and praised even while playing in Saudi League.
And remember that”Messi recently won The Best and he played most of the year in the United States, which also did not have the visibility of European football. I am used to and know how these organizations work. To be honest, I didn’t watch The Best… awards ceremony,” he said.
