Which argument has ended ?? Someone that hasn't won anything for his nation or won CL in 5yrs .... Messi is a fraud and is like buhari and apc that is being favoured by the judges
Hungary and Wales games= Mock
France Game(injured) = Exam!

Eder delivered when Cristiano was handicapped by injury.. He won the trophy for Portugal, not Cristiano!!!

what truth? Tell me
when Ronaldo won his 5th ballon d'or he told the press that "I'M THE BEST PLAYER OF 20 YEARS"
And he was lying?

so now you compare a 0:1 lead to a 4:1 lead? Father Lord!
Whose career is 2 years older?? Who should be leading anyway??

Messi turned him to a chaser!!

Well, this is another chance for Cristiano to be at his mentor's level... !!

Hope he win the next Ballon d'or after Messi has set another pace for him undecided

People often take messi calmness as being shy or weak, but he is very calculative in his speech. Let's be sincere, cr7 has no energy left to compete with messi for this award now that he is in serie A, unless he goes to a better league or club. Now it is time for messi to shine once again and also brag about it.

I hope he can use this motivation to fire barca into their sixth champions league title and win the balon dor again.
Messi is a changed man..

He is a true leader now..

He is very bold at expressing himself...

He never hides....

MESSI FANS NO GET SHAME...SO PERSON WEY SIDDON FOR ONE CLUB LIKE XMAS GOAT WEY OLD WOMAN TIE DOWN WITH RONALDO THAT HAS MOVED FROM GREAT CLUBS TO ANOTHER.... NA WA OH!
Ronaldo moved about because he graduated from a less privileged academy called Sporting Lisbon..

All their graduates always move about seeking for greener pastures...

If he graduated from Barcelona or Real Madrid Academy.. His dream will be to become a legend of the senior team!!!

Nobody ask me and you to be from Nigeria... That is the reason we will be seeking for greener pastures like Ronaldo!!!

But Mark Zuckerberg will always be better than you and I.. Even though he stay put in USA!!

I don't know why some people are just so stupid when comparing messi with ronaldo. Nobody condemn messi last year when he refuse to show up last year in france, nobody condemn him when he raise insults on fifa because he didn't win south america trophy.
Mind you, ronaldo will always win no Matter what you say about him, d more you raise insults the more he keeps wining.
I await you in the next three years, you'll now see true color of messi

INSTANTCASH345:
Is this a professional speech or a hate speech?

After Ronaldo was rubbed of the title,you still got the gut to issue this type if press statement not minding the extent to which he will be affected psychologically...

Mr Messi,go and learn how to make a rival statement or has Ronaldo ever made such statement before to you?
Hw was Ronaldo robbed?

Then he made his feelings known to FIFA and in order not to hurt their favourite FIFA decided to cheat Ronaldo in the last ballon d'or and insulted the footballing world sensibility by giving it to an average Modric angry
you are just a lesbian. Even Van Dijk told you that Ronaldo isn't in contention. The only reason Ronaldo is in d top 3 is because he is Ronaldo. With the way he is going down, I don't see him in the top 10 next year

I never said CR said truth in an arrogant manner. Read my message. I was just advising there is nothing wrong with saying the truth, but one must learn to say it in a non-arrogant manner.

I will also advise you clear your head of hatred "The GOAT".

Personally, I don't give a hoot about who wins what, it does not add a dime to my bank account. I just watch football to enjoy myself. I support a football club because clubs have longevity but I do not support players because they can play for any club of their choice depending on the offer.
Ronaldo never said the truth. Deep in his head he knows Messi is better than him. Even when he was at man utd, when his teammates tell him Messi is better, he will tell the Messi doesn't look like him. He knows Messi is a better footballer but he is cuter

uzoma213:
Lionel Messi admits “it hurt” when Cristiano Ronaldo joined him on five Ballon d’Or triumphs, with the Barcelona superstar claiming to understand the frustration of a rival who opted not to attend the 2019 ceremony.

Messi had dropped to fifth in the vote 12 months ago, while four years had passed since he was last recognised as the finest player on the planet.

In that time, Portuguese icon Ronaldo added another two Ballons d’Or to his collection, with a run of four wins in the space of five years taking the Juventus forward level with an eternal foe.

Messi admits he found it difficult to see Ronaldo claiming his fifth award and can appreciate why the Juventus star - who was in Milan to collect a Serie A Player of the Year prize on Monday rather Paris - will be experiencing similar emotions in the present.

“On the one hand, I enjoyed having five and being the only one,” Messi told France Football .

“When Cristiano moved level, I admit that it hurt me a bit. I was no longer alone at the top. But it made sense, although it was good when I was alone at five.

“Was I frustrated in the last few years? Let's say I understood why I did not win.

“As a team, we had not achieved our major goal, which was to win the Champions League, which gives you more chances to win the Ballon d'Or.

“When Cristiano Ronaldo won it is because he had achieved great seasons by winning the Champions League and being decisive. It was deserved, there was not much I could do.

“Did I feel injustice? It's up to you to tell me if the Ballon d'Or is awarded to the best player or the one who enjoys the best season.

“It is also down to individual taste. Some prefer Cristiano, others myself or Neymar or [Kylian] Mbappe. People have the right to choose the one they like most.”

Ronaldo finished third in the 2019 vote, the first time he has dropped out of the top two since 2010.

Messi added on the emotions of a man who has helped him to take his own game to even greater heights: “Do I understand Ronaldo's frustration? It is something that we live, feel and express according to our own way of being.

“Once again, the collective titles are the most important thing, even if the individual trophies are rewarding.

“When the Ballon d'Or eludes you, everyone reacts in their own way. But when you are a top athlete, you always want to win.”

Messi finds himself back at the summit of the global game and intends to make the most of such a standing at 32 years of age.

“It is exceptional to win the Ballon d'Or four years in a row, and win another 10 years after the first, it puts into perspective the longevity of my career,” added the South American.

“It's hard to stay competitive for a decade. I was lucky to be able to do it.”

Atleast The World Knows Ronaldo Has Pride And Arrogance But Is Messi Left Out Of That Too. You Can't Compare A Man Who Conquered Territories And The Other One Who Keep Conquering A Territory. They Will Boost Of Their Conquests In Different Manners.
Ronaldo Is Worth Every Single Achievements But Was At Some Point Of His Career Favoured.
Ronaldo: Hardworking And Well Deserved Achievements
Messi; Talented And Favoured

You talk is baseless. What Messi said here is pure jealousy. Jealousy is witchcraft & witchcraft is wrong. https://www.goal.com/en-ng/news/messi-it-hurt-when-ronaldo-won-his-fifth-ballon-dor/jo9o8ow48ppq1xosllwkuxnrg
