FutVibes Story of October 31, 2026Trari Newsroom

Why this story? The video drew 830 comments in its first day, 5.8 times a normal first day on this channel (143).

The real reason Ronaldo won the B.O.A.T. award over Messi. 🤔🐐

Cristiano Ronaldo's trophy haul is FutVibes' answer. Some viewers want to talk about how the votes were cast.

The football clips channel's Short, "The real reason Ronaldo won the B.O.A.T. award over Messi. 🤔🐐", compares Ronaldo's decorated 2008 with Lionel Messi's extraordinary scoring year in 2012. It presents B.O.A.T., or "Ballon d'Or of All Time," as a fan vote comparing past campaigns, rather than the annual Ballon d'Or award.

FutVibes builds its argument around individual performances, team achievements and fair play, the criteria displayed in the video. Ronaldo's Premier League and Champions League success with Manchester United supplies the team-trophy side of that case; Messi's 91 goals in a calendar year supplies the striking contrast.

The comments go beyond choosing a season. Several viewers question whether a popularity poll should be treated as a footballing verdict, while others raise questions about paid and repeated voting. Those are viewers' objections, not proof of wrongdoing. Other commenters identify themselves as Messi supporters while making a case for Ronaldo's campaign.

The Short drew about 830 comments in its first day, nearly six times FutVibes' usual level. Its views were ordinary for the channel: the unusual part was how much there was to discuss about the award itself.
