"Juventus" sporting director Fabio Paratici expressed support for forward Cristiano Ronaldo after the FIFA awards ceremony debacle.
According to the Italian, the sniper was deserving of the highest accolade.
"We are all disappointed with the voting results.
While respecting Lionel Messi, who is a great player, we believe that after last season, when we triumphed in the Nations League, Serie A, the Italian Super Cup, and performed excellently in the Champions League, C.Ronaldo deserved this title," explained F. Paratici.
Remember, the Portuguese forward was pushed forward not only by L. Messi, but also by "Liverpool" defender Virgil Van Dijk.
