Cristiano Ronaldo has once again found himself at the center of a media storm after making a controversial comment about his former club Juventus During a casual chat with ex-teammate Wojciech Szczesny at the National Stadium in Warsaw, the Portuguese superstar took a subtle dig at the Italian giants.
The exchange took place after Portugal's UEFA Nations League match against Poland. As Szczesny introduced Ronaldo to his children, the conversation turned to the Polish goalkeeper's current club, Barcelona. "I play for Barcelona now," Szczesny remarked. Ronaldo responded with a seemingly innocuous, "I know! All good, are you happy?". However, it was his next comment that sparked controversy.
"Incredible, you had to retire to go to a big club," Ronaldo quipped. This remark, while seemingly light-hearted, is likely to be interpreted as a slight against Juventus, a club that Ronaldo represented for three years. The implication is that Szczesny had to leave Juventus to join a truly "big" club like Barcelona.
Given the intense rivalry between Ronaldo and Lionel Messi during their time at Real Madrid and Barcelona, respectively, this comment is sure to fuel the debate between fans of the two clubs. Ronaldo's words are likely to be seen as a dig at Juventus and a subtle endorsement of Barcelona, a team that he has often been compared to Messi while playing for.
