Max Allegri worked with CR7 in Turin but believes his rival is the most technically accomplished player on the planet

Massimiliano Allegri insists Lionel Messi is the best player in the world after his Ballon d'Or win, as he gave a pointed snub to Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Paris Saint-Germain star won the world's best player award for a record seventh time on Monday, with CR7 not even attending the ceremony.

Allegri worked with Ronaldo at Juventus in the 2018-19 season, with the striker top-scorer as they won Serie A.

The pair were reuinited in the summer when the Tuscan tactician returned to Turin, but the five-time Ballon d'Or soon left for Manchester United.

His battles with Messi has defined an era of football, and despite personal experience of working with the Portuguese, Allegri named his rival as the world's best.

Asked about the award in his press conference following the win over Salernitana the Juventus boss replied: "In the Ballon d'Or they voted for Messi, let's say on a technical level Messi is the best in the world.

"After that I don't know how they judge the Ballon d'Or."

It's not the first time Allegri has shown a rather cool attitude toward CR7.

The Portuguese started on the bench for the first Serie A game of the season and, following his move to Manchester United, the 54-year-old didn't seem bereft.

Allegri said at the time: "I'm absolutely not disappointed, because Cristiano made his choice and these things happen in life.

"Sivori, Platini, Del Piero, Zidane, Buffon - great champions - have passed through Juventus as well as many coaches. That's how life goes.

"Juventus remains, which is the most important thing.

"In these three years he gave his contribution to Juventus and now life goes on."

Snubs who for who?

I still don’t understand why they always make it looks like Messi and Ronaldo are sworn enemies.

People wey be say dem be Padi

Congratulations to Mr. BallonD'or on your 7th Crown as the undisputable king of football.

It gives me greatest pleasure seeing Ronaldo fangirls crying and writhing in pains. I love every drop of their tears.. More tears loading.

To my fellow comrades, more wins, more celebrations.

To the old fraud, I heard your ambition in life is to win more BallonD'or than Messi. Lol, I laugh at your foolishness. The only achievements you would have than Messi is DubaiD'or.
If only you can use this energy to help Portugal to qualify for world cup instead of crying over an award than has left you behind. Old fool.

To Allegri, thanks for your unbiased honesty.

Idiotic headline, someone just won the Ballon Dor and you're expecting people to say CR7 is the best this year? CR7 even when he has an average year is still living rent free in most of you dimwit's skull...Pathetic!

Ronaldo might score all the goals in the world but Technically, Messi is a better player.

Oh yeah!

Every LM fan is doing almost everything to validate this very controversial Balon D'or

Lol

Bloggers food is ready.
Both are great & talented players. One is gifted naturally while the other workout his.

Messi is best in the world. Does his stuff effortlessly while the other guy needs to puff and gnash his teeth.

Ororo is still my GOAT

Everybody knows this including pendu's fans, they are only using the comparison to keep pendu relevant. Messi is the undisputed GOAT

Bad belle People just want to drag Ronaldo's image & name to the mud. Na so I see a whole goat Ronaldo somewhere in Iyana-Ipaja selling titus fish and gizzard.

Lots of people dey beef ronaldo, but dude doesn't seem to care and Keep doing what he's doing
Though am not his fan but I like him for

That's a man that understands football. Not the white ynashes in England whom don't know what an international cup looks like.

Spain, Italy, Germany and France. Any other opinion is worthless

Talent and hard work no be mate..
