Cristiano Ronaldo's sister Katia Aveiro gave a scathing reply to Virgil van Dijk's joke about the Portuguese's absence from the Ballon d'Or ceremony.
Cristiano Ronaldo's sister Katia Aveiro was livid with Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk's joke at her brother during the Ballon d'Or awards ceremony on Tuesday. The Ballon d'Or was won by Barcelona forward Lionel Messi, who beat the pair for the accolade. Lionel Messi won the Ballon d'Or for a record sixth time.
However, it was van Dijk's small comment ahead of the ceremony that hogged quite a bit of the limelight and Ronaldo's sister Aveiro was enraged with the defender.
Ronaldo, who was ranked third, did not attend the ceremony in Paris, but instead went to the 2019 Gran Gala del Calcio gala in Milan to collect his 'Best Player in Serie A' award.
On his arrival at the event, van Dijk was asked if Ronaldo not being there meant he had one less rival to compete with. To this, the Liverpool star replied, "Was Cristiano Ronaldo really a rival?"

According to the UK Express, the post, which was originally written in Portuguese, read, "Now, dear Virgil, where you are going, Cristiano Ronaldo has gone and has come a thousand times.
"Cristiano Ronaldo was a tri-champion in the country where you have been playing for years and you still haven't got your hand in the can. Cristiano Ronaldo was even the best player and best scorer in the country where you play Virgil. By the way, I was even younger than you."
She further went on stating that Cristiano Ronaldo went to other places and became the "greatest player in the history of a clubezito. Real Madrid, tell you something Virgil? Maybe so, because this club, with this Cristiano guy, even beat you in the Champions League final. Of these (Ballon d'Ors), Ronaldo already has five, Virgil."
The report further mentioned her as writing, "And, dear Virgil, in one of the least successful times of his career, Cristiano Ronaldo has won even more titles than you. Awesome, isn't it?"
Ronaldo's sister continued, "Now Virgil will win titles from those who really count and then we'll talk. It's for me, Cristiano you are and you will always be the best player in the world!!!"
