Ronaldo fans outraged as leaked image shows Messi will win the Ballon d'Or
A picture is doing the rounds on social media claiming that Lionel Messi has pipped Cristiano Ronaldo to the 2017 Ballon d'Or, something Real Madrid fans are not happy about.
According to the picture of a supposed future edition of the 'France Football' magazine, Messi will be presented with the prestigious trophy ahead of his arch rival.
If the photo is to be believed, the result would shock the world of football given that Ronaldo has just picked up FIFA's 'The Best' award.
Real or fake?
While many believe 'France Football' always make a copy of their Ballon d'Or magazine for each finalist, there is reason to believe Messi may have actually won the award.
2016's cover was also leaked showing Ronaldo holding the trophy, which later proved to be real.
