A report yesterday in The Telegraph said that Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo had an obscene nickname for Lionel Messi; one that he used to refer to the Barcelona rival in the dressing room among his teammates.
The report said that although the pair treats each other with respect in public, the story is not the same when they are not in the spotlight.
It also went on to mention that various teammates at Real Madrid said that Ronaldo had a nickname for Messi: ‘motherf****r’. And if Ronaldo even saw someone from the club having a chat with Messi, that person was also referred to as a ‘motherf****r’.
Ronaldo responds to allegations
These allegations created a storm on social media last night and the news even reached Ronaldo.
The Portuguese star took to Facebook to convey a message to his fans and clear the air.
Ronaldo’s official Facebook page update said: “News is circulating that I allegedly made offending remarks regarding Lionel Messi.
“This is absolutely false and I have assured my lawyer takes action to sue those responsible.
“I have the utmost respect for all my professional colleagues, and Messi is obviously no exception.”
