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.
Captain of the Morocco national team, Achraf Hakimi, has shared his thoughts on the controversial topic surrounding AFCON 2025.
It can be noted that the team was accused of taking towels belonging to opposition goalkeepers during matches, which sparked criticism from fans and observers, with many calling for consequences.
Hakimi expressed his disappointment over the situation, stating “I don’t feel proud about the image we gave off with the towels. Even though that happened, the team did well in the competition. We showed respect for our opponents in the tournament.”
Ademola Lookman has praised Atlético Madrid following their 2–0 victory over Barcelona.
It can be noted that the match ended 2–0, with goals scored by Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sørloth.
Speaking in a recent interview, Lookman commended the team’s performance and unity “It was a good result. The performance of the team, especially not to concede here, shows the work everyone’s been doing and the togetherness.”
Young Arsenal player Max Dowman is making headlines after reaching a major milestone—becoming the youngest player to feature in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages.
The previous record was held by Lamine Yamal, who made his appearance at 16 years and 223 days. Dowman, however, has now broken that record at just 16 years and 97 days.
The youngster continues to show great promise, adding another impressive achievement to his early career.
