Katia Aveiro Cristiano Ronaldo’s sister, has labelled the World Cup as “the worst ever” in the history of the competition.
Aveiro stated this on her Instagram account after Argentina beat France on penalties to claim their third World Cup title.
Ronaldo went straight down the tunnel in tears after missing out on the chance to add the only major honour missing from his glittering CV.
The former Real Madrid star, who is currently without a club after leaving Manchester United last month, will be aged 41 by the time of the next World Cup which will be co-hosted by USA, Canada and Mexico.
And reacting after the conclusion of the dramatic final between Argentina and France, Aveiro wrote on her Instagram account: “The worst World Cup of all time… that thankfully gave us a great final. What a match. Congratulations to Argentina.”
Aveiro added, in what appeared to be somewhat of a pointed blank of Messi’s achievement: “Kylian Mbappe. This boy is unreal. What a bright future awaits you. Incredible.”
Ronaldo’s future at club and international level is now deeply uncertain as he now focuses on finding a new club ahead of the January transfer window opening.
