The harsh criticism that Cristiano Ronaldo received from the Italian Minister of Sports
The Italian Minister of Sport was not afraid to criticize a soccer star of the stature of Cristiano Ronaldo and said that "the great champions believe they are above the rest".
In the last few days, there was a big controversy between Vincenzo Spadafora, who is the Italian Minister of Sports, and Juventus player Cristiano Ronaldo. After Ronaldo became infected with the coronavirus, Spadafora assured that the Portuguese had not respected the security protocols.
Ronaldo said the accusations were totally false. However, Spadafora said that on October 5th, when Ronaldo traveled to Portugal to join the National Team, the Juventus forward did not respect the protocols and that is why he caught the virus. Now, the 35-year-old footballer is in quarantine at his home in Turin.
The controversy between both became viralized on social media and Spadafora referred again to the conflict. The Italian Minister of Sport was not afraid to criticize a soccer star of the stature of Cristiano Ronaldo and said that "the great champions believe they are above the rest".
He also said that great champions should respect the rules in order to set an example. Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo posted a video on his Instagram account and said that what Spadafora had said was a lie. Ronaldo is recovering from coronavirus and could miss the Champions League game against Lionel Messi and the FC Barcelona.
