‘An insecure crybaby'—Angry fans blast Ronaldo after mocking the late Pele

The legendary Brazilian soccer player passed away at the age of 82, with his manager revealing his passing following a battle with colon cancer.

The Brazilian legend passed away in a São Paulo, Brazil, hospital, having won three FIFA World Cup trophies and scored 1,279 goals in 1,363 games.

Ronaldo, who recently opened his YouTube channel and broke three records with over 48 million subscribers, made a joke about Pele.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has received a hit on social media after he made a comment about Pele on his YouTube channel.

Ronaldo said, “The mark that I can have in football is to reach first 900 goals, after my challenge is to reach 1000 goals. All the goals that I scored, they have video, so can prove that.”

Ferdinand then mentioned Pele, who scored more than 1000 career goals and Ronaldo replied, “I respect all of them but my goals have certification.

“If you want more goals, I can bring from the training too so no problem. All my goals have video and I will prove to the people after.”

Fans took to social media to blast the Real Madrid legend, with one fan saying, “Did he just shoot at a dead man?? 😭😭”

Another fan said, “Such an insecure crybaby.”

One fan commented, “Athletes like Ronaldo and Kobe are genuinely the biggest cancers to their respective sport. They will disrespect everyone just to elevate themselves.”

Another fan replied, “Respect the legend Pepe, clown.”
