Cristiano Ronaldo has fired back at his former Real Madrid teammate Rafael van der Vaart after the Dutchman labeled him “selfish” during a recent interview. Van der Vaart, who played alongside Ronaldo briefly at the Santiago Bernabeu, claimed the Portuguese star was never happy unless he scored.
The comments, made during a talkSPORT interview, caught Ronaldo’s attention after going viral on social media. Known for his sharp responses, the Al Nassr forward dismissed the criticism with a cutting four-word retort on Instagram: “Who is that guy?”
Van der Vaart’s remarks had initially attempted to highlight Ronaldo’s unparalleled work ethic but also accused him of being overly focused on personal accolades. Ronaldo’s reply has since sparked widespread reactions among fans and football analysts.
