Ronaldo's family causes stir after Messi's latest triumph

Cristiano Ronaldo's sister said that all of his Ballon d'Or awards were "earned, not given", seemingly as a jab at Lionel Messi.

The Portuguese superstar's sister, Katia Aveiro, is in the spotlight for the wrong reasons after she seemingly took a jab at Messi on social media after he secured his eighth Golden Ball on Monday night. Perhaps infuriated by the absence of her brother from the list of nominees, she hinted at feeling that the Argentine was not deserving of what is arguably considered to be the most prestigious individual award in world football this year.

Ronaldo, meanwhile, is closest behind him with five Ballons d'Or, and earlier this week, the Portugal captain was the subject of much social media discussion after he commented with laughing emojis on a post suggesting Messi should have won only five Ballons d'Or instead of the eight he has.
