Ronaldo’s sister says vandals who damaged statue of the star ‘deserve to live in Syria’

Following the announcement earlier this week that he had come second place to Lionel Messi in the Ballon D’Or, the statue was vandalised with paint.

Katie Aveiro, sister of Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo, has a controversial punishment in mind for vandals who daubed graffiti on a statue of the star.

The large statue of the Portuguese footballer is on display in his hometown of Madeira.
