Lionel Messi made history last week as he won his record 8th Ballon d’Or title. The Argentine, with the win, has left an ever-lasting legacy on the sport, etching his name in history books. However, it seems like not everyone is pleased with the former Barcelona star lifting the coveted award. Messi’s longtime rival Cristiano Ronaldo took a shot at the player after he posted laughing emoticons at a post questioning La Pulga’s win.

Following her brother’s actions, Cristiano’s sister has now joined the bandwagon. Katia Aveiro recently applauded a post on social media that praised her brother while taking a subliminal shot at Lionel Messi. Many fans believe Erling Haaland deserved the award, and Messi got a hold of the title just because it was his last dance. But winning the World Cup doesn’t give you brownie points? Well, ask Ronaldo and his family!

Now, while there are many answers to support one of the two sides of the spectrum, what’s done is done. Nonetheless, that doesn’t prevent fans from expressing their dissatisfaction with the decision.

Cristiano’s sister Katia Aveiro joined the fray as she took a dig at Lionel Messi while applauding a post praising her brother. Katia showered a social media post with clapping emoticons that displayed her brother with his Ballon d’Or titles, with the caption, “Earned, not given!”
