After the match ended, Ronaldo’s sister Elma Aveiro suddenly posted on Instagram a controversial image of this “rivals” duo.
Ronaldo started from the start in the Juventus squad to reunite with “rival” Messi on Barcelona’s side for the first time since leaving Real Madrid in 2018.
The match ended with a 3-0 victory for Juventus, including a double from the penalty spot by the Portuguese superstar. Witnessing CR7’s brilliant playing day, Elma Aveiro’s sister suddenly posted on Instagram a controversial photo with Messi kneeling in front of Ronaldo’s characteristic celebration of waving his arms and shouting loudly.
“My king. The greatest player of all time and the pride of my life”, Elma wrote along with the controversial photo.
It is worth mentioning that Messi and Ronaldo both gave each other very intimate actions before the match. After the match, Ronaldo also shared about the special relationship between him and Messi.
“I have always maintained a cordial relationship with him. I have been chasing titles with him for the past 12, 13 or 14 years. But I have never seen him as my rival. Messi at that time Everyone tries to do the best for his team and so do I. We always go together,” said the Portuguese superstar.
In addition, the 35-year-old superstar also shared more about the recent match: “Barcelona is going through difficult times, but they are still Barcelona. We are actually feeling very happy. The whole team thought this was impossible task but we did it. The important thing was to enter the game well. Two early goals really helped us believe that we could do it.”
Ronaldo had 14 goals alone at Camp Nou in all competitions and turned Barcelona’s “holy place” into his favorite place of his career. The double goal against Ter Stegen also helped CR7 reach the milestone of 650 goals in his career at the club level. Ronaldo also set a record of becoming the first player to successfully take 2 penalty kicks at Camp Nou.
