No sooner had Ronald Koeman’s side recovered from their crushing 0-3 defeat by Juventus at Camp Nou on Tuesday than Lionel Messi, Barca’s talisman, came under severe trolling by Cristiano Ronaldo’s sister.
On her Instagram account, Elma Aveiro shared an apparently photoshopped picture of the Argentinian kneeling and bowing to his purported rival, Ronaldo, with the latter standing astride and striking a signature celebratory pose.
"My King! Best ever. Pride of my life", she captioned the shot.
The two legendary footballers being brought together in one image couldn’t go unnoticed online, with 40,000 people of her 430,000-strong following liking the post and leaving thousands of comments.
The Juve ace insisted in response that there is no personal rivalry between him and the Barca forward, saying they have been comfortably competing and sharing top individual prizes with him.
