BREAKING: Jose Mourinho question Rodri beating Messi to the Golden Ball
“Big respect to Rodri — he’s an incredible midfielder and fully deserves his flowers. But if you’re asking me if I agree with the decision… NO.
“For me, Lionel Messi was the standout player of the tournament. When the pressure was highest, he showed up, led from the front, and made the difference again and again. That’s what defines greatness.
“These awards should come down to what players actually do on the pitch — not anything else. Rodri had a great tournament, but in my opinion, Messi was the one who should have won it.”
Do you agree with Mourinho?
