Lionel Messi wins Ligue 1: Commentator criticised for Cristiano Ronaldo dig

Saturday was a day of contrasting fortunes for Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

Ronaldo scored but was powerless to prevent United slumping to a 3-1 defeat at Arsenal. The result all but ends the Red Devils’ hopes of securing a top-four finish in the Premier League this term.

Messi, on the other hand, scored the goal against Lens that saw PSG clinch the Ligue 1 title. And what a stunning goal it was, too.

The 34-year-old netted his fourth league goal of a mixed debut campaign with the French club from 25 yards in the 68th minute.

Corentin Jean equalised late on for the visitors but the point was enough to earn PSG a record-equalling 10th league title.

Amid the celebrations at the Parc des Princes, one commentator was slammed on social media for taking a dig at Ronaldo.

The commentator said: “Ronaldo of Manchester United are confirmed to be Conference League [*laughs*] team in sixth or seventh place.

“The GOAT Messi scores really the goal that gets the title for PSG.”
