Cristiano Ronaldo's sister slams Qatar World Cup and makes brutal Lionel Messi snub

Former Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo's sister, Katia Aveiro, has described the 2022 World Cup in Qatar as the 'worst of all-time'.

The showpiece event came to its conclusion on Sunday afternoon in thrilling fashion as Argentina defeated France on penalties after a breathtaking 3-3 draw to win the trophy for the first time since 1986. The South American giants won 4-2 on spot kicks after a stunning hat-trick from Kylian Mbappe prevented them from winning the final in extra time.

Lionel Messi scored twice, meaning he played an instrumental role in helping his country end their long drought for football's biggest prize and ensured that he will retire with the knowledge that he won the famous trophy. For many football fanatics, his success in Qatar has moved him ahead of Ronaldo in the battle to be considered the greatest player of all-time.
