BALLON D'OR: Messi Plans To Boycott After Hearing Confirmation That Ronaldo Will Win


With the Ballon D’Or gala taking place this coming Monday evening, it’s looking increasingly likely that Cristiano Ronaldo has it in the bag.

As happens every year, word is leaked through the grapevine and the final 3 candidates invariably know who the winner is well before it’s announced on the night.

In Spain, it’s becoming accepted that Ronaldo has won, and Spanish media group El Chiringuito claim to have a scoop on how this has impacted on Leo Messi.


El Chiringuito claim that Messi has been informed that he’s set to cede his trophy of 4 years to Ronaldo, and that he now doesn’t want to attend.

Chiringuito’s Morales said: ‘A Real Madrid official is aware that Cristiano Ronaldo has won the Ballon D’Or.

When Messi heard this, his first reaction was to cancel his participation.”

In the vernacular of the Internet – butthurt much, Messi?

If it transpires that Messi boycotts the ceremony, it will speak very poorly of the 4-time winner; though one would think common sense will see through and that he’ll attend and congratulate Ronaldo.
