🎥 Next-level trolling! The internet mocks CR7's display | OneFootball

That large parts of the football world aren’t exactly well-disposed toward Cristiano Ronaldo is far from anything new.

But the ridicule directed at the Portuguese superstar since the 1-1 draw against DR Congo has reached entirely new dimensions.

In the disappointing tournament opener for the title favorites, Ronaldo delivered a disappointing performance. The 41-year-old was completely isolated for long stretches of the match and managed only 25 touches, despite being on the pitch for the full 90 minutes.

Among other things, the internet used those numbers as an opportunity to get really creative. 

But the CR7 performance also sparked plenty of mockery beyond social media. Supporters of the Congolese team took aim at the veteran as well.

TV pundit and striker legend Thierry Henry also criticized Ronaldo on 'Fox Sports' for being too selfish: "The team needs to score goals, not you." CR7 is said to be too focused on putting himself in the spotlight, which also prevents his teammates from shining.

We can be absolutely sure that Ronaldo will want to deliver a response at all costs in the next match against Uzbekistan (June 23).
