His hate towards Messi is huge. He saysthat Ballon d'Or should go to the Champions League winner because he has won more Champions League trophy than Messi but Messi has 3 more Ballon d'Or than Cristiano, while Cristiano's dream was to have more Ballon d'Or than Messi. If we follow Ronaldo's logic, then the World Cup winner should win the Ballon d'Or because the world competition is the highest level of competition and the one who wins the World Cup, should be the best player but that doesn't sound right for Ronaldo because Messi won World Cup and he didn't.
Why does this have to do with Messi again?
If you look at the statement he gave it was directed at the Ballon d'Or this season and clearly in terms of questions and articles also referred to two players where Dembele and Lamine Yamal so there is no hatred or anything that leads as if Ronaldo and Messi are always intersecting for now.
They are two GOATs who cannot be denied and now they only give appreciation and space to young players who are in development to make football shine and from the explanation of the article there is nothing that refers to the competition with Messi which is approaching even over for now.
We don't need to overthink the 2 GOATs debate because in the end their time is almost over and we just need to wait and see whether Yamal or Dembele could be a worthy candidate for the Ballon d'Or.
For Lamine I personally feel he is overrated but indeed it is still a bit appropriate just for the Ballon d'Or if the benchmark is Dembele and Lamine I think I will be on Dembele's side for this season.
