Football's governing body FIFA appeared to take a jab at Cristiano Ronaldo after Lionel Messi's recent World Cup triumph - before deleting the tweet in question.
In the eyes of many, the long-standing debate over who is the greatest player of them all was finally settled with Argentina's newfound status as world champions, an effort that was undeniably spearheaded by Messi. The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner scored seven goals over the course of the tournament, including two in the final.
In stark contrast, Ronaldo bagged just once in the form of a penalty during Portugal's opening game of the tournament against Ghana. The 37-year-old was filmed leaving the pitch in floods of tears after his nation's exit at the hands of Morocco at the quarter-final stage.
