Sheamus is an ardent Liverpool fan which is clearly expressed on his social media posts. It is quite obvious of him to talk ill of his competitive team. When asked if Ronaldo was the greatest player ever he replied in absolute negative. He however accepted that he was a world-class player and one of the best that’s been in the last decade. “But even if he scores a penalty he’s all about the camera mate, you know what I mean Shirt off, Where’s the camera? Even if he scores a penalty. I’m not knocking the guy or hating on him, but he knows exactly what he is doing,” said Sheamus

It’s been a long time since the WWE Superstar passed on such comments on Cristiano Ronaldo. Cristiano hasn’t paid much attention to the same since we didn’t hear from him anything on the same. Being on top of the world gets you hated and that is what Ronaldo has been facing. He does not lose his focus on things and is working on himself to be better than what he was the previous day.
