The WWE superstar even said that Ronaldo has got no physicality. Sheamus further revealed that footballers go down when the wind blows or a blade of grass hits their shin.

Now, this might not go well for the WWE superstar. We all know about the huge and crazy fan base Cristiano Ronaldo has.

As Sheamus is also known to be a Liverpool fan, this will only add more spice, as Liverpool and Manchester United are considered to be arch-rivals.

“But even if he scores a penalty, he’s all about the camera, you know what I mean. Shirt off, ‘where’s the camera?’… I’m not knocking the guy or hating him, he knows exactly what he is doing,” Sheamus added.
