Ronaldo Says Ballon d’Or Means Nothing to Him and Refuses to Pick 2025 Winner
Cristiano Ronaldo has made it clear he’s not interested in the Ballon d’Or 2025 discussion, bluntly calling the award “fictional” before walking away from a reporter’s question.
Speaking after scoring a hat-trick in Al-Nassr’s pre-season clash with Rio Ave, the Portuguese star, who has lifted the Ballon d’Or five times, refused to name a favourite for this year’s prize. He said the award holds no real value to him anymore.
Interestingly, back in June, Ronaldo suggested the trophy should go to a player who has won the Champions League, mentioning names like Lamine Yamal, Kylian Mbappé, Vitinha, and Ousmane Dembélé as worthy contenders.
Coventry City manager, Frank Lampard, speaks on team player and states how the player’s stance will help the team get into the Premier League.
The player is revealed to be Onyeka who he spoke about in the recent interview.
“He brings a different quality and probably a different profile to the midfield players we have.
“As I say, the profile is slightly different and I think that helps us in terms of the options and the competition in the middle of the park for us.”
Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta, after their last match, shares an update on the injured team members after their last match.
He shared an update on Saka and stated that he is doing better after going through a hip injury. “His hip is improving a lot. Hopefully, he’ll be ready soon.”
He added about the other team members: “Martin is getting better and will be back in a few days, and Jurrien is fit for the weekend.”
Super Eagles footballer, Alex Iwobi, speaks on the World Cup and reveals their hope to play in the 2026 World Cup.
He shared that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is hopeful about hearing from them after they submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.
“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have in your career, a memorable moment. But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been.”
