Ronaldo Reacts with Laughter to Messi’s 8th Ballon d’Or Win, but Is There a Hint of Jealousy?

Cristiano Ronaldo recently responded to the news of Lionel Messi’s 8th Ballon d’Or victory with a set of four laughing emojis, indicating a lighthearted reaction. He also expressed his approval by ‘liking’ the post that discussed Messi’s latest achievement.

The original post, shared by pro-Madrid journalist Tomas Roncero, featured a critique of Messi’s Ballon d’Or triumph, suggesting that the World Cup victory and penalties should not overshadow other contenders. The post questioned the timing of the award, given that the World Cup was ten months ago and offered alternative candidates for the prestigious title.

While Ronaldo’s reaction may be seen as playful banter, it has led some to speculate whether there’s a hint of jealousy beneath the surface. The ongoing rivalry between Messi and Ronaldo continues to captivate fans, with each player’s success being closely monitored and analyzed.
