He Is The Best Player In The World" - Cristiano Ronaldo's Agent Reacts After Messi Wins Ballon D'or.



Cristiano Ronaldo's Agent Jorge Mendes has passionately claimed that his client is the best player in history despite Lionel Messi winning the 2019 Ballon D'or Award. Ronaldo who came up third in the final rankings and missed the ceremony in which rival Lionel Messi secured a record sixth Ballon D'or award.

Cristiano Ronaldo was named the 2019 Serie A player of the year last night in Italy but agent Mendes gave a passionate remark about the Portuguese star.

'Cristiano is the best player in history, and you know it!' Mendes said at the Gran Gala del Calcio event in Milan on Monday.

It was Messi's first Ballon d'Or success since 2015 with Ronaldo and former Real Madrid team-mate Luka Modric winning in the last three years.

Modric surprisingly took the award ahead of Ronaldo last season and after Mendes' defence, Ronaldo's Juventus team-mate Giorgio Chiellini chipped in to suggest that the Portuguese should already have claimed his sixth crown ahead of Messi.


Speaking to Sky Sport Italia, the Juventus captain said: 'Ronaldo was really robbed of the Ballon d'Or last season, when Real Madrid decided to make sure he couldn't win it and that was really weird.

'This season, it was more balanced. With all due respect, Modric even in his best season of his career didn't deserve it. That was a signal from Real Madrid, as they wanted to stop Ronaldo winning it.

'He won the Champions League, but by that logic, (Liverpool defender Virgil) Van Dijk should've won it this year, or last year (Antoine) Griezmann, (Paul) Pogba or (Kylian) Mbappe for doing extraordinary things at the World Cup. Modric made no sense.'

The 34-year-old Juventus star has made an indifferent start to the new campaign, with seven goals and two assists across all competitions for the Italian champions.
