Cristiano Ronaldo Criticizes 'Unjust' Ballon d'Or Outcome Following Vinicius Junior's Overlook

"At the Global Soccer Awards ceremony, former Madrid attacker Ronaldo expressed his strong belief that he deserved to win the golden ball. He boldly stated in front of everyone that it was unfair, emphasizing his disappointment with the outcome."

"They gave it to Rodri, he deserved it too but I think they should have given it to Vinicius because he won a Champions League," the Portugal captain added.

Only Argentina superstar Lionel Messi with his six successes has won the Ballon d'Or more than Ronaldo.
