One @Wefterrr said, “Ronaldo FC went too far with its false notifications,” while @BasheerTK queried, “Who even spread this false information 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️.”
Another person, @JaffoCFC said, “They just tryna make story so as to believe he has got good heart😭😭,” while @NahBlUD12 believes “Messi would never.”
@Tayubkhan1799 said, “Can you imagine how many went there because of false information spread by his shameless fanbanse,” while @AdekolaOladele said, “Ronaldo fans and anything fake 🤝.”
While it may be entirely wrong to blame Ronaldo for all of these, the Portuguese star and his PR team might need to do a lot more to avoid being linked to false and controversial information.
