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’.

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. On the other hand, Ronaldo has decided to stay out of the matter completely. As everybody knows he initially shared his views about the MLS – Saudi Pro League comparison and seemingly did not feel the need to intervene again.
