FIFA president made some unsavory comments on Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo and has is now facing the ire of the Spanish giants. Blatter spoke during a recent gathering at Oxford Union and spoke about Ballon d’or favorites this year.

He spoke about both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi and said, ” They are both exceptional players but are totally different.Football is about the difference between stars. Lionel Messi is a good boy that every father, every mother would like to have at home.

“He is very quick, he is not exuberant, he plays well, he is a good boy. That is what makes him so popular, because he is this nice man and that is why he gets votes.

“The other one (Ronaldo), he is something else, he is like a commander on the field of play.

“This is the other side of football and it is good to have such commanders on the field also. That gives life to football.

“One has more expenses for the hairdresser than the other, but that doesn’t matter.” It is this comment that has irked the Real Madrid administration and the club president Florentino Perez has questioned the FIFA supremo on the same.

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti also spoke on the same and said, ” The president has sent a letter to FIFA asking for a correction of what I consider disrespectful (comments) to a very professional player.”

“And I am in complete agreement with the president. I have not talked about this with Cristiano Ronaldo, who proves to be a great player. (He is) respectful to all parties, and should stay that way,” said the Italian.
