Cristiano Ronaldo 'taunts' Lionel Messi with 'No1' goal celebration after Ballon d'Or win

Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo had reportedly 'taunted' Barcelona ace Lionel Messi after he won the Ballon d'Or by parading the trophy before Madrid's match with Granada, before firing a message as to who is the best around.

Ronaldo, who ousted Messi to win the crown as the world's best footballer earlier this month, smashed home the opening goal of the game.

According to Metro.co.uk, the Portuguese hitman then showed off the 'number one' sign with his fingers - right in front of the cameras.

Messi finished in second place in the running for the Ballon d'Or, and the pair are said to endure a frosty relationship, the report added.
