(PHOTO) Betrayal to Cristiano? The picture of Ronaldo's son wearing the jersey of one of his rivals, CR7 could get upset
Cristiano Ronaldo's son wear a shirt his father might not like to see.
Cristiano Ronaldo has played for some of the biggest clubs in the world during his time in Europe. Ronaldo played for Sporting CP, Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus. All of these clubs have heated rivalries with one or a couple of other teams, and the Portuguese striker's son wore a rival club jersey at home. CR7's younger son Matteo was with his siblings Eva and Bella, but the young boy was wearing a Manchester City shirt, which is the bitter rival of Manchester United. Although we can all expect that CR7 wouldn't get mad at his son over a simple shirt, Ronaldo may want his son to wear the Manchester United shirt since he played there before.
Ronaldo was actually close to joining Manchester City in 2021 after he left Juventus that summer. CR7 spoke with Piers Morgan in a Piers Morgan Uncensored interview about how close he was to joining the rivals of Manchester United. Ronaldo said, "I was close to joining Manchester City in 2021. I was surprised — as they tried hard to sign me. But my heart, my history with Man United, Sir Alex Ferguson, made the difference. The heart was speaking loud in that moment."
Ronaldo played his second spell at Manchester United in 2021 till the end of 2022. CR7 played a total of 346 matches in all competitions for Manchester United, including the two times he played for the club [2003-2009, 2021-2022]. The Portuguese striker scored a total of 145 goals and provided 64 assists. With Man United, he won a Champions League, a FIFA Club World Cup, three Premier League titles, an FA Cup, two English League Cups, and an English Super Cup.
Rio Ferdinand thinks CR7 was better than Thierry Henry in the Premier League
Ronaldo's former teammate at Manchester United, Rio Ferdinand, was asked if Thierry Henry was better than Cristiano in the Premier League. Ferdinand disagreed and said, "I don't agree with that. Henry played longer in the Premier League, but Ronaldo reached a higher level. He left as a Ballon d'Or winner and scored more than 40 goals in a season."
