Cristiano Ronaldo’s Sister Posts Photo Of Lionel Messi Kneeling Before Her Brother

Cristiano Ronaldo’s sister, Elma Aveiro, posted a controversial photo of her brother and FC Barcelona star Lionel Messi on Instagram after Juventus’ win over FC Barcelona in the Champions League.

The photo shows Messi kneeling down in front of Ronaldo symbolizing Ronaldo’s win over his eternal rival Messi after his team defeated the Catalan club. Some claimed that Messi appears to be worshiping Ronaldo in the photo. The photo raised controversy regarding the two players’ rivalry.

After the Juventus match, Ronaldo claimed, “I have always had a cordial relationship with Messi. As I have said before, for 12, 13, 14 years [I have been] sharing prizes with him.”

“I never saw him as a rival. He always tried the best for his team, and I tried the best for mine. I always got on well with him. I am sure he will say the same if you ask him. But we know in football, people always look for a rivalry to create more excitement.”

Ronaldo and Messi’s never ending competition is probably the sport’s most intense rivalry of all time. The rivalry reached a high point when Ronaldo was a Real Madrid player and both players were playing for the two best teams in the world. 

Both players have shared the sport’s most prestigious awards for the past decade. Ronaldo won four Golden Boots and five Ballon D’Ors. On the other hand, Messi won six Golden Boots and six Ballon D’Ors. Also, both players won multiple awards with their teams. 

Messi and Ronaldo are regarded by many as the two best soccer players of all time and their competition is a heavily discussed topic in the media. Ronaldo has played in different leagues across Europe, while Messi is a one club having played in FC Barcelona for all his career.

While Ronaldo claimed that a rivalry between himself and Messi does not exist, his sister’s photo says the exact opposite.
