Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri snubs Cristiano Ronaldo saying Ballon d’Or winner Leo Messi is ‘technically the best player in the world.’
The Argentinean ace won the seventh Ballon d’Or in his career on Monday. Ronaldo didn’t participate in the ceremony that took place in Paris.
“They picked Messi and we can say that technically he is the best player in the world, but I don’t know what they base their judgement on,” Allegri said at a press conference after Juventus’ win over Salernitana on Tuesday, as quoted by Tuttomercatoweb.

Ronaldo played one season under Allegri at Juventus before the Tuscan tactician was sacked in 2019.
They were on good terms, but when Allegri returned to the club, their relationship had changed.
Evra reveals the two reasons why Cristiano Ronaldo left Juventus
In his unveiling press conference, Allegri said that Ronaldo should have accepted rotation during the season and according to many, including Ronaldo’s friend and former Juventus defender Patrice Evra, it was one of the reasons why the Portuguese ace wanted to leave the Bianconeri.
The 36-year-old eventually returned to Manchester United in a €14m deal plus €8m add-ons after scoring 101 goals in 134 appearances with the Serie A giants.
extremely overrated since he left and indeed in his final season with them. there`s a reason why psg chose messi , over the hill.
Doing very well in the farmers league. Ronaldo would have had a far superior impact to PSG.
Journalists keep asking Allegri, Chiellini, and Bonucci about Ronaldo and hook, line, and sinker they keep opening their mouths. Move on already.
Martin… we can see the impact of Messi in PSG. Lol For Man Utd, if it wasn’t for Ronaldo they would be in a worse position in the Premier League and they would be playing in Europa League right now. Sorry to say but your comment is a completely nonsense.
I am sure Bentancur will win it next year.
100 goals in 3 seasons … overrated indeed
Il Divino Jonathan was cheated out if the Ballon D’or in 2014 !
Allegri is just overrated coach , CR7 is the best player in the world no doubt though I don’t criticize Messi win it as this 2 have been the best for the last 10-15 years . Don’t think any one will match that stats.
Allegri is Anti Ronaldo and useless coach ruining Chiesa Also
Can we just give Allegri a Ballon d’Or for being the great inventor of sleep football and the much loved back pass.
Allegri won’t see out his contract.
Off season for Juve’s standards in League play, sure. It’s not all his fault but just doesn’t seem right.
Also, to me it does seem like not all is right between Chiesa and him. Juve brass need to sort that out.
Lewandowski was far better in the past 2 years. However Ronaldo should be ahead of Messi, no question about it!
