Maria Vieira is a Portuguese actress. But recently, it was her Facebook posts that went viral. She has been very critical of Portugal’s prodigal son Cristiano Ronaldo. And now his comments over his influence, Roshn Saudi League, European Leagues, and MLS comparison gave her a chance to add the next chapter. She wrote a lengthy post on Facebook after Ronaldo-led Al Nassr lost 5-0 to Spanish minnows Celta Vigo.
She started by mentioning Sporting Lisbon. Vieira wrote, “Cristiano Ronaldo ruled out Sporting (as if someone wanted it) and claims that European football has already lost a lot of quality! And immediately before it had sprouted this fishing post took the Celta de Vigo 5-0, which is far from being one of the top clubs in the Spanish championship.”

The influencer added, “Yes, the “Muslim” championship is good as hell. It was enough for the ‘Biggest Narcissist of the Ball’ to have gone there to spend the golden retirement playing in the middle of lame Arabs and ‘Gold Diggers’ who like him are at the end of their career or what already not interested in any European clubs,” criticizing CR7 and other stars joining the Saudi League.
“Oh, and he also said that the Arab League is much better than the American League, just to make sure his choice was more accurate than the ‘Best Player in the World’- Lionel Messi. Well, there are ridiculous people, and then there’s Cristiano Ronaldo…” Vieira ended the post.
