It’s So Easy To Blame Ronaldo For Portugal’s Woes – Sister

Cristiano Ronaldo’s sisters have jumped to his defence following Portugal’s disappointing 1-1 draw against DR Congo in their 2026 World Cup opener. They recently had their say via her social media page, and fans have been reacting.

Sharing a photo of the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, Elma described the result as unfair to Portugal, stressing that outsiders fail to understand the intense pressure of the pitch.

His second sister, Katia Aveiro, deflected the blame off Ronaldo‘s shoulders by pointing to a lack of cohesion among the players.

Elma wrote, “I believe that beginnings are difficult, but endings are good. You are the ones on the field. It’s easy to talk. And besides, having victory stolen in this way, it’s not easy.”

Katia added, “As if by magic, they forgot how to pass to each other, recover balls, launch counter-attacks. The game took place from the midfield to the back. Strange, this World Cup. Strange. But let’s go. Bad starts, great endings. Until the end.”

WOW.

Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro GOIH ComM is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a forward for and captains both Saudi Pro League club, Al Nassr and the Portugal national team.

Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro was born on 5 February 1985 in the São Pedro parish of Funchal, the capital of the Portuguese island of Madeira, and grew up in the nearby parish of Santo António. He is the fourth and youngest child of Maria Dolores dos Santos Viveiros da Aveiro, who worked as a cook in the hospitality industry and a cleaning woman, and José Dinis Aveiro, a municipal gardener at the Junta de Freguesia of Santo António and part-time kit man for football club Andorinha.

Ronaldo’s move to Manchester United was completed on 12 August 2003, too late for the 2003 FA Community Shield but in time for their game against Bolton Wanderers on the opening day of the 2003–04 season, and made him the first Portuguese player to sign for the club.

Ahead of the 2009–10 season, Ronaldo joined Real Madrid for a world record transfer fee at the time of £80 million (€94 million). His contract, which ran until 2015, was worth €11 million per year and contained a €1 billion buy-out clause.
