5 times Cristiano Ronaldo showed that he is petulant

#3 Slave Ronaldo

Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur — Release the slave?

This was back in the day when Manchester City were only just being flooded with oil-money from the rich Arabs. At that time, Cristiano Ronaldo was at Manchester United and wasn’t entirely happy with the club for being a hurdle between him and a move to Real Madrid.

At first, he showed his frustration after being subbed during a game against the Cityzens. While going to the dugout, he snatched a shirt from the kitman and threw it on the ground, for which he later apologized.

After that, he labelled himself as a slave while agreeing to Sepp Blatter’s comments of there being "too much modern slavery" with regards to clubs not allowing their players to leave.

“I agree with what he said," said Ronaldo in response. "It's true. I agree with what the president of Fifa said. I know what I want and what I would like.”
