Missing the candidate for three consecutive years, 40-year-old Ronaldo once again criticized the Golden Ball Award: a false honor! After saying that, he turned around and left

On the evening of August 8, 40-year-old Portuguese superstar C Ronaldo once again expressed his dissatisfaction and contempt for the Golden Globes in an interview.

After Riyadh's 4-0 victory over Rio Avi, Ronaldo scored a hat-trick. After the game, Ronaldo was asked about his opinion on this year's Golden Globe Awards when he left the court.

The Portuguese superstar sneered: "The Golden Globes? This is a false honor to me (Bola de ouro? Isso para mim é fictício). Then Ronaldo turned around and left to finish the interview without looking back.

As a recognized two-character savage in football, although Ronaldo won the Golden Ball Awards less than Messi, it is enough to crush others. He has won the Golden Globe Awards in 2008, 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2017, with a total of five Golden Globe Awards.

Looking at Ronaldo's career, he has been selected for the Golden Globes 18 times and is the most selected player in history. However, since the 2023 Golden Globe candidate, Ronaldo has not been selected for the 30-man roster of the Golden Globe candidates for three consecutive years.

In the past year, Ronaldo led the Portuguese men's football team to win the UEFA Nations League championship again, scoring goals in the semi-finals and finals. In addition, he also won the Saudi League Golden Boot for the rest of the year, but in the end, Ronaldo still did not even make the shortlist of 30 people, which will indeed make him feel more or less resentful towards the organizer of the Golden Globe Awards.
