Jakarta, CNNI Indonesia —
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo continue to compete but it turns out that there are prizes that have been won by CR7 but not won by Messi.
Messi and Ronaldo have been challenging each other for more than a decade. Both regularly win titles, both team and individual.
For the Ballon d’Or, Messi even has seven trophies against the five won by Ronaldo.
In addition, both also competed for the title of best player in La Liga and top scorer in the Spanish league. Both also felt the trophy.
But it turns out that there are awards won by Ronaldo but not won by Messi. That award is the Golden Foot.
Golden Foot has unique criteria, which is that the winner of the award must be over 28 years of age and this award can only be won once in a player’s career.
Since it was won by Roberto Baggio in 2003, a number of famous names have won the Golden Foot. Ronaldinho, Francesco Totti, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Andres Iniesta, Didier Drogba and Luka Modric are the names that have won this award.
Cristiano Ronaldo himself won the Golden Foot in 2020. In 2022, Robert Lewandowski will emerge as the winner.
Opportunities for Messi to receive this award are still open in the following year. He is currently still active on the grid and has just shown a spectacular performance for Argentina at the 2022 World Cup.
The Golden Foot winner himself will receive an award in the form of his footprints immortalized on The Champions Promenade in Monaco.
