There was a post that claimed the Portuguese star would receive a Bench d’Or. There is no such award, and, and it is a parody of the annual award called Ballon d’Or, which is awarded to a player’s individual performance in a season. Moreover, the Bench d’Or is a troll on the fact that Ronaldo was on the bench for most of the season, especially during his time in Manchester after the appointment of head coach, Erik ten Hag.

However, Speed was unaware of these facts and ended up celebrating his idol’s award. He said, “This is why he’s the GOAT. Does Messi have this trophy? This is the reason Ronaldo is the GOAT.” He kept on repeating that the Barcelona legend doesn’t have this award, while his soccer idol does.
