Cristiano Ronaldo has hit back at comments made by Ballon d’Or organizer Pascal Ferre, saying the editor-in-chief of France Football “lied” about his rivalry with Lionel Messi.
Ferre told the New York Times on Friday that Manchester United forward Ronaldo’s sole ambition was to retire with more of the awards for the world’s best player than Messi.
