Cristiano Ronaldo, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, who received the Best Middle East Player Award at the Globe Soccer Awards, expressed his desire to become a club owner at the event. " I am still very young, I have so many plans and dreams ahead. Mark my words, I will be the owner of a big club. For sure," he said at the ceremony.

The final whistle painted a stark picture of Ronaldo's emotions. A video circulating on social media shows the 39-year-old standing on the pitch, visibly disheartened, gazing into the crowd. With shoulders slumped, he slowly walked off, a clear reflection of his frustration over his team’s inability to close the gap on their title rivals.
