Ryanair taunted Cristiano Ronaldo after Portugal's exit; the post became a hit

Portugal's legendary player Cristiano Ronaldo, aged 41, scored three goals at the 2022 World Cup but fell short of advancing further or competing for top scorer honors. The current top scorers in the tournament are Kylian Mbappé, Lionel Messi, and Erling Haaland, each with seven goals, still in contention for the Golden Boot. Ryanair, known for its humorous and provocative social media posts, created a list of leading scorers with a playful reference to Ronaldo’s jersey number rather than his actual goal count. The post went viral, sparking mixed reactions from fans—some praised Ryanair’s humor while others felt Ronaldo deserved more respect after another major tournament.
