Barcelona forward Lionel Messi, has congratulated rival Cristiano
Ronaldo, after the Real Madrid star beat him to the 2013 Ballon d’Or
prize on Monday. Messi, who has won the award four times in a
row, came second behind the Portuguese, while Franck Ribery ended up in
third. Although Messi also had a remarkable year, it was not enough to
topple Ronaldo, who he described as a just winner.
“I want to
congratulate Cristiano because he was the winner and deservedly so. I
think it was a good year for the three of us and that’s why we were
there,” Messi told reporters after the ceremony.“I have nothing to
complain about or make any excuses.”
