Cristiano Ronaldo's sister recently made a notable comment in the wake of Lionel Messi's eighth Ballon d'Or win, sparking conversations in the football world.
On Monday night in Paris, Messi claimed his eighth Ballon d'Or award, a historic feat, thanks to his stellar performance in leading Argentina to victory at the 2022 Qatar World Cup. This triumph put Messi three titles ahead of his long-standing rival, Cristiano Ronaldo, who last clinched the prestigious award five times.
While many hailed Messi's remarkable achievement, there were dissenting voices, asserting that he didn't merit the accolade.
In the midst of this debate, Katia Aveiro, aged 46 and Ronaldo's sister, seemed to align herself with a post that argued that her brother had rightfully earned his accolades, seemingly taking a subtle jab at Messi for his recent accomplishment. The post, shared on social media (formerly Twitter), displayed Cristiano Ronaldo, now 38, proudly surrounded by his numerous personal honors, including three UEFA Men's Player of the Year titles, four European Golden Shoes, and five Ballon d'Or awards.
The image bore the caption: 'Earned, not given,' and Aveiro expressed her support by liking the post and adding five clapping emojis, signaling her endorsement of the sentiment.
This isn't the first instance of the Portuguese pop singer diving into the ongoing discussions in the world of modern football. Just last year, she made waves by labeling the World Cup as 'the worst ever' in a dramatic social media post. In her initial remarks, she stated, 'The worst World Cup of all time.' However, she later acknowledged the merits of the victorious South American side, saying, 'Thankfully, it provided us with a great final. What a match. Congratulations to Argentina.'
Furthermore, Aveiro had previously urged her brother, Cristiano Ronaldo, to return home when he was relegated to Portugal's bench during the World Cup, stating that he should be where he's appreciated rather than unappreciated.
