Pakistani fan hilariously showcased his support for world-class Portuguese footballer, Cristiano Ronaldo (CR7) in the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Pakistan may not be in this year’s World Cup, but what our awaam lacks in football skills, they make up for it with Ballon d’Or level memes.
One tweep shared a picture of CR7 in black shades and a beige shirt, and referred to him as ‘Chaudhry Cristiano Ronaldo Chandio’.
(Note: ‘Chaudhry Ronaldo’ has no relation with Pakistani politician Maula Baksh Chandio)
The poster is reminiscent of desi politicians’ eyesore campaign posters that we see plastered all around our neighborhoods.
The poster reads in Urdu,
Hand in hand, give your support to Ronaldo.
The captain of the Portuguese football team is going to need all the fan support he can get as he is currently out of form and out of favor with his Manchester United (Man Utd) fans. He recently had a controversial interview with British journalist, Piers Morgan, in which he criticized his current football club Manchester United while burning bridges with the club and many of his long-standing fans once and for all.
One of the fallouts from the explosive interview was allegedly a rift between Ronaldo and his Man Utd and Portugal teammate, Bruno Fernandes. However, the latter brushed aside the rumors when asked about them by the press.
Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays the forward position for the Premier League club Manchester United, and captains the Portugal national team. He is often considered the best player in the world and is widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time.
The legendary footballer is in the twilight of his illustrious career as this year’s FIFA World Cup will be the 37-year-old’s final attempt to capture football’s biggest prize. Portugal and Ronaldo will kick off their World Cup campaign against Ghana this Thursday.
