Al-Nassr forward Cristiano Ronaldo has become the target of ridicule on social media after his latest post regarding the Champions League. The 38-year-old Ronaldo is described as synonymous with the UEFA Champions League. Cristiano Ronaldo has won the UEFA Champions League five times and holds the record for most goals and assists. However, his move to the Saudi Pro League last year ended his dominance of European football. Hence, his latest post drew ridicule.
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings are all about UCL football, Clubs including Barcelona, Atletico Madrid Arsenal are heading into their Round of 16 fixtures this week. A few hours before the kickoff of those games, five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo “Getting ready for the Champions League match!” He posted a picture of his training on social media with the caption. Ronaldo was referring to the AFC Champions League clash against Saudi Arabian club AL-Feiha on February 21.
But with UEFA running out of time, haters saw it as a way to mock the five-time UCL champions. A netizen asked, “Did you forget the full name? Fooling your own fans?” Another said, “You mean El-Kanemi Champions League? ” A third said, “You’re funnier than some comedians.” Despite the mockery, Ronaldo’s influence on the UEFA Champions League remains indelible.
His records and achievements speak volumes for his ability on the European stage. However, as times change and new stars emerge, Ronaldo’s move to another league serves as a reminder of football’s ever-evolving landscape.
