You might remember the name Eero Markkanen but we would forgive you if you did not.
The 24-year-old was the Real Madrid striker who responded in style to claims he was let go by the Spanish club for being overweight.
It seems the Finnish frontman, now back in his homeland with RoPS [on loan for the remainder of the season], is still keeping an eye on his former team’s progress in Europe.
After watching Cristiano Ronaldo open the scoring against Malmo in the Champions League, Markkanen had some words for the Portugal international.
Even I scored against Malmö FF before half time. Nothing special there, @Cristiano. #UCL

Markkanen had played against Malmo during his time at AIK in Sweden, a short spell which convinced Los Merengues to bring him into their second string.
But when Ronaldo added a second, equalling Madrid’s all-time goalscoring record, Markkanen had no option but to concede defeat.
Damn you @Cristiano, just had to score 2? I guess you really are better than me ⚽️
