Cristiano Ronaldo showed off his sassy side after Lionel Messi won the Ballon d\u2019Or.<\/p>\n

The Inter Miami star\u2019s World Cup triumph with Argentina helped him secure his record breaking eighth individual honour. He pipped Manchester City treble winner Erling Haaland and French superstar Kylian Mbappe to the grand prize this year. <\/p>\n

In the same period Ronaldo had a messy departure from Manchester United, struggled as Portugal were knocked out of the quarter-finals of the World Cup by Morocco and joined Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr. But while Ronaldo has said on numerous occasions he has plenty of respect for Messi, his reaction to the Argentine skipper winning the award again would suggest he was not thrilled by the news. <\/p>\n

Siario AS journalist Tomas Roncero recently went on a rant about Messi\u2019s individual triumph that has since gone viral. He said: "Hello friends. What we knew has happened. They were going to give another Ballon d\u2019Or to Messi.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe went to retire at Miami, but he was already looking retired at PSG to prepare for the World Cup. He won the World Cup, yes, well, but with 6 penalties in their favour. The World Cup was 10 months ago, we\u2019re in November.<\/p>\n
