Posted Wednesday, December 04, 2019 by Marca.com

Katia Aveiro, Cristiano Ronaldo's sister, went on an extraordinary rant in response to a joke made by Virgil van Dijk at the Ballon d'Or ceremony.

The Dutch centre-back joked that Ronaldo wasn't a rival for the award and this didn't go down well in the Ronaldo family.

"Now, dear Virgil, wherever you go Cristiano Ronaldo has already been a thousand times," the Juventus forward's sister wrote on Instagram to start her rant.

"You see, my dear Virgil, Cristiano Ronaldo was a three-time champion in the country where you have been playing for years and you still haven't got your hand on the trophy.

"Cristiano Ronaldo was even the best player and best scorer in the country where you play, Virgil.

"By the way, he was even younger than you are now.

"Then, dear Virgil, Cristiano Ronaldo went to other places and became the greatest player in the history of a great club, Real Madrid.

"Does that tell you something, Virgil?

"Maybe so, because this club, with Cristiano Ronaldo, even beat you in the Champions League final.

"He already has five Champions League titles, Virgil.

"Plus, Ronaldo and his Portugal teammates crushed your Netherlands in a final.

"Was it tough, Virgil? We have sympathy.

"And, dear Virgil, in one of the most accomplished times of your career, Cristiano Ronaldo has still won even more titles than you have.

"Awesome, isn't it?

"Now, Virgil, win titles that really count and then we'll talk.

"When you have a few of them, the really important ones, you might be able to sit at the table with Cristiano Ronaldo.
