Cristiano Ronaldo is currently part of a major controversy. Earlier this month he made strong claims in which he preferred the Saudi Pro League over the MLS. His statement sparked a major reaction from a renowned Portuguese actress. She did not hold back while slating him. Unhappy with the same, Ronaldo’s sister recently called that actress crazy and asked the actress to urgently visit an asylum.
Maria Vieira‘s criticism of the Portuguese soccer legend did raise quite a few eyebrows on social media. In her statement, she called him a ‘gold digger’ while crowning Lionel Messi as the ‘Best Player in the World’.

Elma Aveiro defends Cristiano Ronaldo after he received ‘gold digger’ tag
Lionel Messi, joining the MLS, gave rise to several debates on social media. Fans were wondering about the difference in quality between soccer leagues. That’s when Ronaldo stepped into the debate and defended the likes of the Saudi Pro League. It’s obvious and normal that everyone wasn’t going to agree with him. But Maria Vieira’s words for Ronaldo undoubtedly jaw-dropped numerous fans.
Days later, Ronaldo’s sister decided to defend her ever-famous brother. Elma Aveiro took to Instagram and put forward a very stern message. She quoted, “I have seen lately this lady talking badly about everyone, and things that do not pass in anyone’s head. In addition to sour, bitter, clumsy, has there not yet been anyone in your family who saw that this lady?”, as translated by DeepL.

“In addition to crazy is completely sick in the head, urgently find an asylum for this lady.” Vieira is yet to respond to any of these comments.

The scathing comments of Maria Vieira against Ronaldo
Aveiro wrote a lengthy post on Facebook criticizing the Portuguese soccer legend. She claimed that Celta Vigo was not part of the top clubs in Spain. Hence, she didn’t consider Ronaldo’s team beating them a significant achievement. But her next words were quite shocking. She called Ronaldo the ‘Biggest Narcissist of the Ball’ who seeks a ‘golden retirement’ in Saudi Arabia.
