Cristiano Ronaldo Refuses To Congratulate Lionel Messi For World Cup Win!

Cristiano Ronaldo is having a hard time swallowing the pill that is Lionel Messi winning the 2022 World Cup Final.

The Portugal player has remained silent on social media since Argentina took the ‘W’ over France on December 17th.

Millions of people around the world celebrated Argentina and Messi’s win at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, including multiple soccer players and legends.

However, at the time of writing this article and 24 hours after Argentina’s win, Ronaldo has remained silent on the outcome.

David Beckham helped celebrate Messi’s win on social media sharing a series of photos of the fútbol star from childhood to now.

He captioned the post, “El rey @leomessi,” which translated to English means “The King.”

Brazilian soccer star Neymar Jr. also shared his excitement for Messi by sharing of photo of him touching the World Cup trophy.

Neymar Jr. captioned the post, “Felicidades Hermano,” which means “Congratulations brother” in English.

Uruguay-native and Messi’s former FC Barcelona teammate, Luis Suarez, shared a photo of the GOAT with the WC trophy and made a subtle dig at Ronaldo.

“Congratulations friend! 🏆YOU ARE WORLD CHAMPION 🤯. Let them say what they want, you are and will be the best 🐐,” he captioned the post.

During Portugal’s time at the World Cup, Ronaldo was benched for two games and his family made it out to be travesty.  His partner and mother to his children was very outspoken about his time off the field.

Georgina Rodriguez ripped Team Portugal a new one in a social media post, but in the “classiest” way possible.

Rodriguez posted several photos of herself all dolled up, looking super casual while in a stadium suite overlooking the field.

While this image is the status quo for her IG feed, it was the caption that told a very different story.

The caption was written in Spanish, but we translated it to English.

“Congratulations Portugal While the 11 players sang the hymn all the targets placed on you,” her caption began. She even shared a video of the cameramen pointing their lens at Ronaldo on the bench rather than at the players on the field.

What a shame not to have been able to enjoy the best player in the world during the 90 minutes,” her caption continued. “The fans have not stopped claiming you and shouting your name.”Rodriguez concluded “I hope that God and your dear friend Fernando continue hand in hand and make us vibrate one more night.” In every photo she shared from Tuesday’s match, Rodriguez looked solemn and did not crack a smile. On the same hand, Ronaldo was pictured looking highly peeved and angry on the bench.  The soccer star did actually get to play 17 minutes at the very end of the game.Team Portugal absolutely spanked Switzerland in the knockout round winning 6-1. Hey, great things can happen without the “best player” on the field. Rodriguez and Ronaldo had a devastating loss earlier this year.

Other major fútbol news regarding Ronaldo broke late last month.

He became a free agent after severing ties with Manchester United.

The shocking news was announced on Tuesday, November 22nd.

The English soccer club announced the news in a statement shared on their website.

“Cristiano Ronaldo is to leave Manchester United by mutual agreement, with immediate effect,” the club’s official website read. “The club thanks him for his immense contribution across two spells at Old Trafford, scoring 145 goals in 346 appearances, and wishes him and his family well for the future. Everyone at Manchester United remains focused on continuing the team’s progress under Erik ten Hag and working together to deliver success on the pitch.”

The “breakup” comes a week after Ronaldo did an exclusive interview with Piers Morgan and said he felt “betrayed” by Man U.

He also said he has ZERO respect for the club’s head coach, Erik ten Hag.

Ten Hag suspended Ronaldo in October due to his refusing to appear as a substitute during Manchester United’s 2-0 win over Tottenham.
