Yeah, so what if he’s just won his fourth Ballon d’Or? Cristiano Ronaldo isn’t all that.
And before you start trying to tell us otherwise, let it be known that we can back such a statement up with hard evidence – which comes in the form of a tweet sent by a Barcelona supporter with a Lionel Messi profile picture.
Ronaldo and his Real Madrid teammates were in action in Japan on Thursday morning as they took on Club America of Mexico in the semi-finals of the Fifa Club World Cup.

Already leading thanks to Karim Benzema’s opening goal in first half stoppage time, Ronaldo made a right mess of his opportunity to double the European Champions’ lead in the 66th minute.
Well inside the opponent six-yard box with an open goal at his mercy, Ronaldo somehow managed *not* to nod the ball into the empty net as a cross fell kindly to him.
Never mind Benzema throwing his considerable frame in front of him at the vital moment, for Messi zealots this is further proof the Portuguese is not fit to lace the Barca star’s boots.

For the record Ronaldo netted his 500th career club goal in garbage time, surely further proof of his awfulness in the eyes of some who refuse to see.
