Madrid Star, Cristiano Ronaldo, who won his fifth Ballon d’Or ahead of Barcelona’s Lionel Messi and PSG’s Neymar at the Eiffel Tower in France, says he’s still willing to win more Ballon d’Or awards.
After being presented with the 2017 Ballon d’Or at the glitzy ceremony on Thursday, Ronaldo vowed to ‘let the fight continue’ between himself and Messi as they battle for future Ballon d’Ors.
‘I hope to play at a high level for a few more years,’ Ronaldo said when asked about rival Messi. ‘Let’s have the fight continue in a good way. He will do his best for his club and his national team.
‘And I will do my best for Real Madrid and my national team. So let’s see at the end of the day who is better and see who at the end of the year what collective awards we win and what the people voted.’
‘Of course, I feel happy. It’s a big moment in my career,’ Ronaldo said. ‘It’s something I hope to win every year. Thanks to my Real Madrid team-mates. And I want to thank the rest of the people who helped me reach this level.’
Well, the madrid star now equals Lionel Messi who has won the award 5-times – and in another context, Ronaldo and Messi have been the only two players to have won the award in the last 10 years.
Now social media users are trolling Lionel Messi who used to be the favorite to clinch the award.
