"It is sad and a shame" - Real Madrid superstar blasts Cristiano Ronaldo's critics

With five Ballon d'Or awards to his name, Cristiano Ronaldo is undoubtedly one of the greatest players of his generation.

Ronaldo initially failed in his efforts to join a UEFA Champions League club in the summer.

He then often found himself relegated to the bench under Erik ten Hag at Manchester United.

The Portuguese icon did not hold himself back from expressing his frustrations at the Red Devils boss.

It eventually culminated in him launching an attack on the club and the manager in a controversial interview with Piers Morgan.

The 37-year-old's antics, both on and off the field, have rubbed many fans and pundits up the wrong way in recent months. He has thus often been on the receiving end of severe criticism.

He said- “What he has done in the last 15 years, I am personally really grateful for. He has helped shape our generation.

HE ADDED- What he has achieved is unbelievable. It’s sad and a shame that you have to see scenes like that or read such things about him.”

With the World Cup done and dusted, Cristiano Ronaldo is now determined to find a new club.
