Cristiano Ronaldo’s sister has last night taken her annoyance to social media (Instagram) to slam the Portugal National Team’s coach, Fernando Santos’ decision to bench her brother in their 6-1 win over Switzerland on Tuesday evening, December 6.

‘Today we are all together, if you think it has to be like this I am here to see it,’ she began, posting an image of the Portugal team prior to kick-off.

‘Yes Ronaldo is not eternal, yes Ronaldo won’t play forever, unfortunately he doesn’t score goals now, he’s old, Portugal doesn’t need Ronaldo,’ she continued.

‘We talked about what we heard, all that he did isn’t important, all that he did was forgotten.

‘Now they ask for forgiveness and they don’t need him. I will register that and later we’ll talk.

‘Rui Santos, what will he apologise for? Now we we can f*** who we want.

‘It is a shame to humiliate a man who has given so much, but later I will see a lot more.’
