Cristiano Ronaldo’s sister Katia Aveiro launched a rant at Virgil van Dijk after the Liverpool defender’s joke about her brother at the Ballon D’Or 2019 ceremony.

Van Dijk finished second in the voting for this year’s Ballon d’Or, behind winner Lionel Messi but ahead of third-placed Juventus star Ronaldo.

Ronaldo snubbed the ceremony, and when a reporter put it to Van Dijk before the award was announced that that meant he had one less rival to worry about, the Dutch centre-half joked: “Was Cristiano really a rival?”

Ronaldo’s sister has reacted angrily to the quip, with a lengthy Instagram post in response to Van Dijk in which she points to her brother’s far superior trophy record.

Aveiro’s post, translated from Portuguese read:

“Now, dear Virgil, where you are going, Cristiano Ronaldo has gone and has come a thousand times.

‘You see, my dear Virgil, that Cristiano Ronaldo was a tri-champion in the country where you have been playing for years and you still haven’t got your hand in the can.

“Cristiano Ronaldo was even the best player and best scorer in the country where you play Virgil. By the way, I was even younger than you.

“Then, dear Virgil, Cristiano Ronaldo went to other places and became the greatest player in the history of a clubezito.

” Real Madrid , tell you something Virgil? Maybe so, because this club, with this Cristiano guy, even beat you in the Champions League final. Of these, Ronaldo already has five, Virgil.

“And that fellow Ronaldo and team-mates, with the corners on his chest, crushed your ‘orange’ in a final. Was it hard, Virgil? We have pity.

“And, dear Virgil, In one of the least successful times of his career, Cristiano Ronaldo has won even more titles than you.
Awesome, isn’t it?

“Now Virgil will win titles from those who really count andvthen we’ll talk. When you have a handful of them, the really important ones, you might be able to sit at the table with Cristiano.

“It’s for me Cristiano you are and you will always be the best player in the world !!!”

Women matter dey always different. These two guys will play computer games together and laugh and hug while their wives won't even be on talking terms. Reminds me of Nigerian politicians and their followers killing themselves over nothing.

So because I don't smoke I should not say "they smoke through the nose and blow out via the mouth Ko " Even with VILGIL as a footballer who knows much about sports ... Oga , everybody has right to his/her opinion, and to me it's not a joke it's the fact, VIRGIL stand taller to the award than CR7, I don't want to question it, but to me I feel VIRGIL should have won it, but I can't go forward with that because MESSI is ALLAH's gift , as such, not always, man's efforts can superced it ...great players ...#LeaveVIRGILalonePls.

Barthley:

messi is a special somebody in personality.

He says ronaldinho is the best Barcelona player, he rated ronaldo higher than himself.

Pele,maradona and other football legend mock him but he never reply them, he doesn't disrespect and make noise when he looses.

That's why many rival fans love him

So because Messi came fifth last year, he wasn't really a rival??

Jokerman:


So because Messi came fifth last year, he wasn't really a rival??

Yes, for that particular one ....and presently he is the first... CR7 is not a rival for this one maybe next one, To me , I thought VIRGIL would have it...CR7 should try again next year.

She and others defending her took it out of context.
But nobody asked for her or ur bullsshhit opinion.

42year old behaving like somebody in kindergarten.
In Don jazzy's voice, "if you want the rivalry, come and collect it".

Obviously judging by his performance in the previous season he wasn't a rival yesterday, this does not undermine his achievements or place Virgil on his level,you people should learn to read and understand.

because he tries to please people. Deep down I'm sure he tells himself that he is better than those people
