Cristiano Ronaldo deserved to win at the Dubai Globe Soccer Awards?

Cristiano Ronaldo failed to win the Ballon d'Or or the FIFA Men's Best Player award. He was beaten by his long-time rival and Barcelona talisman Lionel Messi for both the individual recognitions. Nevertheless, the Portuguese attacker had another fine season under his belt at Juventus. He scored 28 goals for his club last season and has 12 goals in 21 games so far this time. He led the Old Lady to a Scudetto the previous season and also led Portugal to the UEFA Nations League victory in 2019.
