Pictures from Cristiano Ronaldo’s hometown of Madeira have been shared on Twitter that show his statue vandalised by Messi fans who were celebrating the Barcelona striker’s 5th Ballon d’Or win.
After the win, some fans of the Barcelona hitman took it upon themselves to send a message to Ronaldo and his fans and used the bronze statue to get their point across. They used red paint to write ‘Messi’ on the back of the statue and also wrote the number 10 below it.
The Argentine forward had won his fifth Ballon d’Or award on Monday night in Zurich, Switzerland, and had beaten his long-time arch-rival with 41.33% of the votes.
