Cristiano Ronaldo’s sisters have blamed the mafia for their brother losing the 2018 Ballon d’Or to former Real Madrid teammate, Luka Modric, who ended him and Lionel Messi’s dominance of the prized trophy.
According to one of Ronaldo’s sisters, Elma Aveiro, 39, the result from the night reflected how the world was “rotten” and tainted by mafia and money.
A post that appeared on her Instagram page in the aftermath of the event read: “Unfortunately this is the world we live in, rotten, with mafia and f******g money.
“The power of God is a lot greater than all this rottenness. God takes his time but he doesn’t fail.”
His other sister, Katia posted a picture of Ronaldo after he won a previous Ballon d’Or and wrote: “Best player in the world….for those who understand football of course.”
