Ligue 1, K.O. Twice, Rain of Digs after the Reply to Cristiano

One of the most controversial issues of recent days is the Globe Soccer Awards gala. These individual awards have left a striking moment starring a Real Madrid legend, Cristiano Ronaldo. The former Portuguese '7' made it clear that Vinícius deserved to win the Ballon d'Or.

Those statements, made during the gala, have gone around the world and become a topic of debate. While it's true that Madrid and its players have decided to move on, attention has once again focused on the Ballon d'Or won by Rodri. Also on his attitude, being absent from the 'The Best' gala or these awards.

Knowing he wasn't going to be awarded, the same criticisms that Vinícius had received haven't reached Manchester City's '16'. A peculiarity that the offices at Valdebebas didn't want to highlight to avoid controversies. However, Ronaldo's words continue to resonate in the European soccer elite thunderously.

So much so that many seem to have felt attacked by the legend's pointing out of what happened during October's last week. The player's opinion has had several replies, but the proposal from the official Ligue 1 account has sparked a harsh replies.

Chain of replies

The official French league account wrote "Leo Messi playing with 38 degrees" and a photo of the Argentine with the World Cup won in Qatar 2022. That attempt to 'hurt' Ronaldo, since it's the only trophy he hasn't achieved in his sports career, and to discredit his opinion has multiple replys.

The most severe correction has come from those who debunk the text written by Ligue 1. Because while it's true that the Qatar World Cup was held there during the summer, Doha doesn't suffer from wingere temperatures. In fact, during the match, the average temperature didn't exceed 75°F.

Leo Messi was unable to stop the French comeback, led by a Kylian Mbappé who scored a hat-trickin that final. He also didn't have enough ability to prevent Madrid from eliminating him in the Champions League, nor to keep up with Ronaldo since 2015 in that tournament.

The 'ghosts' of Rome, Turin, Anfield Road, and Lisbon, among others, will always haunt Leo Messi wherever he goes. His last opportunity in the soccer elite is the FIFA Club World Cup organized for next summer, a tournament where the best clubs in the world compete... like Real Madrid itself.
