Cristiano Ronaldo’s comments on Rodri’s “unfair” victory at the 2024 Ballon d’Or did not fail to make the Spaniard react.
The backlash is terrible for Cristiano Ronaldo.

A judged choice
“unfair” by the five-time trophy winner, who believes that Real Madrid’s Brazilian winger
“deserved” to win it this year.
“It was unfair, I say it here in front of everyone. They gave it to Rodri, who deserves it too, but I think they had to give it to Vinicius because he won the Champions League and scored in the final (against Borussia Dortmund).”thus released the star of Al-Nassr. Words which did not fail to make the winner react. Questioned by AS this Thursday, the Spanish midfielder (28 years old) did not shy away, curtly reframing “CR7”.
Rodri responds to Cristiano Ronaldo
“What do I think of his words? Well, it was really a surprise, because he knows better than anyone how this prize works, and especially how the winner is chosenreplied the Manchester City player. This year, the journalists who voted thought I should win it. These are probably the same journalists who at some point voted for him to win, and I imagine when he won he accepted the trophy. »
