Cristiano Ronaldo Supports Claims of FIFA Corruption Favoring Messi and Argentina

Cristiano Ronaldo sparked widespread discussion on social media by endorsing allegations of corruption involving FIFA and Lionel Messi following the 2026 World Cup final.

The Portuguese star showed his support by liking a video posted on his official Instagram account. The clip, shared by Spanish journalist Pilar Lussantos, accused FIFA of sporting corruption and favoritism towards Messi and the Argentine national team.

Social media users circulated numerous screenshots and videos highlighting Ronaldo’s “like” on the post, amplifying the controversy.

The Argentine team faced multiple accusations of receiving favorable refereeing decisions throughout the 2026 World Cup, a tournament in which they ultimately lost the final 0-1 to Spain.

Meanwhile, Portugal, led by Ronaldo, exited the competition in the round of 16 after being defeated 1-0 by Spain.
