There was a lot of talk about Cristiano Ronaldo being mad about not winning a single award during FIFA's The Best Gala held on Monday, but today, the Portuguese footballer shared his views on the matter in a light-hearted mood.
Speaking to his fans via Instagram live, CR7 seemed to be OK with being snubbed by FIFA in the awards ceremony. In fact, he referred to those awards he ended up losing: the Puskas award and the Mens' Player of the Year award.
First, CR7 referred to Mohamed Salah's win in the Puskas award ballot...but he didn't forget about that overhead golazo against Juventus.
"Salah deserved to win the Puskas award, it was a good goal. I've won that trophy before, it's in my museum, so it's fine. But don't kid yourselves, my goal was better!" CR7 stated while smiling.
Then, the Portuguese footballer referred to Luka Modric's win as FIFA's Male player of the year.
"Congratulations to Luka Modric on winning.Very good," the footballer added.
Have a look at the clip where he speaks about these topics.
