Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Odumodublvck has slammed Cristiano Ronaldo for his recent comments about the World Cup.

Cristiano Ronaldo made history by scoring his 900th career goal in Portugal's 2-1 win over Croatia in the Nations League.

However, his post-match comments sparked controversy on social media.

Ronaldo stated, "Portugal winning [the] Euros is equivalent to winning a World Cup."

He added, "I've already won two trophies for Portugal that I really wanted. I'm not motivated by that," referencing Portugal's Euro 2016 and UEFA Nations League 2019 victories.

Ronaldo's remarks were seen as downplaying the significance of the World Cup, which his rival Messi won with Argentina in 2022.

"Ronaldo na the kind guy wey go wear white go chop beans cause how will one use his hand to be spoiling his own legacy such great legacy? why cristy? pity dan dizzy"

Ronaldo remains determined to play in one last World Cup, despite turning 40 in February. It remains to be seen whether he will be a part of the Portugal team in two years time.
