“One is a handgun and the other is a bicycle... Don’t ever compare” - Controversial Instagram post on Lionel Messi’s overhead kick earns a 'like' from Cristiano Ronaldo’s sister
Cristiano Ronaldo’s sister Katia Aveiro recently liked a controversial Instagram post comparing Ronaldo and PSG’s Lionel Messi.
PSG got off to a perfect start in Ligue 1, with a 5-0 victory over Clermont Foot. Neymar opened the scoring for the Paris giants before Achraf Hakimi and Marquinhos added to the scoreline.
Lionel Messi opened his own account for the season in spectacular fashion, in the 80th minute. He got to the end of a long ball with his back to the goal and thumped it home after taking a touch on his chest.
Ronaldo obviously had scored an outrageous bicycle kick back in April 2018 against Juventus in the Champions League quarterfinals. Not surprisingly, quite a few fans have compared the two goals over the last few days.
A Ronaldo fan account analyzed the two goals but concluded that the Portuguese's bicycle kick was much better. The wording of the post, however, sounded a little harsh to many fans.
Should we even be surprised anymore? This family is so obsessed https://t.co/XVErjEg5GV
The post read:
"One is a handgun and the other is a bicycle. One is in the French Championship against Clermont and the other is in the Champions League kill-off stage against Juventus... Don't ever compare..."
Interestingly, Ronaldo’s sister Katia Aveiro liked the post and even commented a series of clapping emojis.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United get off to the worst start in the EPL
There is little doubt that Cristiano Ronaldo is currently not happy. The Manchester United striker played second fiddle in the opening game against Brighton to Christian Eriksen and looked frustrated during the limited time that he got on the pitch.
Ronaldo will also be chaffed with the way Messi has opened his season. The Argentine produced two brilliant goals and also provided an outrageous assist to Neymar for the opener. There is little doubt that Manchester United need to bring about a huge change in the coming days.
They looked disjointed in both the midfield and attack and fans will be concerned with the form of both Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho. They might also want to see at least one of Fred and Scott McTominay being replaced in the center of the park.
Both the players produced familiarly hapless displays in the center while Harry Maguire also looked unsettled.
Neymar’s reaction says it all 😅 https://t.co/fNJFpIpHCY
Lisandro Martinez was given a very physical welcome to the Premier League and question marks over Ten Hag’s decision to throw him straight into the starting lineup might be questioned.
Regardless, the opening day defeat might mean good things for Ronaldo who should slot right back into the starting lineup for the next match against Brentford.
