JAKARTA - Cristiano Ronaldo has become the talk of netizens again because he is considered a hypocrite. It spread because Ronaldo was caught commenting on the upload that said Lionel Messi did not deserve to win the 2021 Ballon d'Or.

This situation is known from the upload of the Twitter account @CrewsMat10 which shared screenshots of Ronaldo's comments on an Instagram account uploaded by his fans.

Ronaldo's fan account on Instagram @cr7.o_legendario said Messi did not deserve to win the 2021 Ballon d'Or. In his post, this fan also revealed CR7's flashy achievements this year with an extraordinary goal record. He also called Ronaldo greater than Messi.

The upload went viral because it was responded by Ronaldo. The 36-year-old gave a like to the post and commented as if he agreed.

"Factos," Ronaldo wrote with a thumbs up and an eye emoji. Factos in Indonesian means facts.

Because of this, netizens immediately said that Ronaldo was a hypocrite. Because, it contradicts the claim that the Manchester United player is on his Instagram account.

Cristiano Ronaldo commenting “facts” under a post saying Messi robbed the Ballon d'Or and ghosted in big games... I actually can't believe this is a 36 year old athlete, the lack of sportsmanship and the inferiority complex is despicable. pic.twitter.com/iSMBdbEXey

Quoted from Sportbible, Ronaldo had shared an upload that stated firmly that he upholds sportsmanship, fair play and has never fought anyone.

Rumor has it that Ronado's upload was a response to the Ballon d'Or organizer and editor-in-chief of France Football, Pascal Ferre, who said he only had one ambition, which was to retire with more Messi Ballon d'Or wins.

Unfortunately, the image of sportsmanship and fair play that Ronaldo upholds has actually faded because of comments on fan accounts.

Apart from that, this year's Ballon d'Or belongs to his rival, Lionel Messi. La Pulga won his seventh Ballon d'Or trophy after beating Robert Lewandowski.
