Cristiano Ronaldo’s sister was livid with Fernando Santos after she found out that he left her brother out of the starting 11.
Santos made the decision to drop Ronaldo after a poor run of games and replaced him with the promising young striker, Goncalo Ramos. The Portugal manager can feel vindicated for his decision, as Ramos went on to score a hat trick in the 6-1 thumping of Switzerland.
Ronaldo made an appearance off the bench but failed to get on the scoresheet. Although fans expected Ronaldo to storm down the tunnel, he looked happy for his side even though he didn’t play as big a part as he would’ve wanted to.
His sister Elma Aveiro however was fuming and took to Instagram to furiously rant.

“Yes Ronaldo is not eternal, yes Ronaldo won’t play forever, unfortunately he doesn’t score goals now, he’s old, Portugal doesn’t need Ronaldo.” she wrote on her story.
“We talked about what we heard, all that he did isn’t important, all that he did was forgotten. Now they ask for forgiveness and they don’t need him. I will register that and later we’ll talk.
“Rui Santos, what will he apologise for? Now we we can f*** who we want. It is a shame to humiliate a man who has given so much, but later I will see a lot more.”
Whether she likes it or not, Ronaldo will likely feature on the bench for the rest of the World Cup.
