From the video circulating, the figure that Ronaldo passed is actually no stranger to the world of football. He is a French legend and former UEFA president, Michel Platini.
Ronaldo and Platini are currently arguing. Because some time before, Platini had implied the view that Ronaldo didn’t deserve it Ballon d’Or.
Meanwhile, the figure next to Platini in that moment was also not President of Israel Reuven Rivlin. How about the second video?
The second video was recorded when Ronaldo received the Italian Super Cup runners-up medal in 2019. At that time Juventus lost 1-3 to Lazio in a match that was held in Saudi Arabia.
The defeat allegedly made Ronaldo so disappointed, that he immediately took off the newly awarded medal. Because he was busy removing the medal, he did not welcome the invitation to shake hands. But from the footage circulating, this figure is also not the president Israel.
In another video, the 36-year-old player is also claimed to have refused an invitation to exchange shirts from Israeli national team players. In fact, from the circulating records, the player is Ronaldo’s teammate in the Portugal national team because he appears to be wearing the same pants.
The player is Joao Moutinho, who is indeed holding the Israeli national team shirt. Moutinho is believed to have previously exchanged shirts with Israeli players, before shaking hands with Ronaldo.
Other mazy news also involves a number of photos, which have undergone digital processing. Regarding Israel, Ronaldo actually traveled there with Real Madrid and took pictures with the former president and prime minister Shimon Peres.
Nevertheless, Cristiano Ronaldo has also shown concern for the Palestinians. In 2016, he invited a 5-year-old boy, Ahmad Dawabsheh, who survived with burns from a bomb attack in the West Bank.
As is well known Palestinians in Gaza through this year’s Eid celebration under Israeli military air strikes. This attack continues the violence that previously occurred in the area of the Al Aqsa Mosque in Ramadan yesterday.
