Just a few minutes after Lionel Messi was awarded the title of Best Male Player at FIFA The Best 2023, Cristiano Ronaldo made a move almost quickly.

When the FIFA The finest 2023 awards event took place on the morning of January 16, Leo Messi was presented with the honor of being recognized as the finest male player in the world. As a result of this, the Argentine striker has been recognized for the third time, and he has officially surpassed both Cristiano Ronaldo and Robert Lewandowski to become the man who has the most awards.

Particularly noteworthy is the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo surprised social networks with a demanding statement that he posted on his official Instagram account immediately after his most formidable adversary in his career won the FIFA The Best title.

The striker for Al Nassr was not even considered by FIFA for these honors; yet, he waited until the ceremony was over to share a photo of himself and warn that he would return to see more.

As soon as Ronaldo posted his tweet, hundreds of followers immediately showed their support for the Portuguese star. Many of these followers commented by stating that CR7 should not pay attention to an awards ceremony that does not acknowledge real football players. They emphasized that Ronaldo is the player who has scored the most goals in the entire year of 2023.

Despite the fact that Messi was included on the final nomination list, neither he nor his two rivals, Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe, were present at the awards gala that took place in London, Great Britain.

El Pulga cannot compete with Haaland, who won a historic treble with Manchester City and is the top scorer in the Premier League. 2023 is not the best year of Leo Messi’s career, and statistics reveal that El Pulga cannot compare to Haaland. The Premier League and the Champions League alike. Before the ceremony that made the announcement took place, the Norwegian striker was the leading contender for the award that is given to the best male player.

In a tournament such as the United States, it would be quite difficult for Messi to be named in the subsequent event, therefore it is possible that he has already won his last The Best award. This is similar to the situation with the Ballon d’Or. On the other hand, it is highly improbable that the M10 will be able to surpass its tremendous individual title accomplishment, at least in the years to come.
