Cristiano Ronaldo’s sister says statue vandals “deserve to live in Syria” in bizarre Twitter rant

What on Earth was she thinking?

News broke the other night that a famous statue of Cristiano Ronaldo in his native Madeira was vandalised on the evening of the Ballon d'Or ceremony. The nogoodniks responsible are suspected Lionel Messi fanboys as they painted the Argentine superstars name and number on the back of the bronze statue. https://twitter.com/RMadridFact/status/686971383012802560?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Cristiano Ronaldo's sister Katie Aveiro expressed her outrage over the act of vandalism with a perhaps ill-judged rant on Twitter. She will in no doubt come under fire for the siggestiong that the "frustrated savages deserve to live in Syria" for defacing the statue. Check out some of the more controversial parts of her rant below, as translated by ITV.

"I am angry, sad, disappointed and speechless at this so disrespectful lack of maturity. It is disrespectful for the tourists." "We all know how proud I am of this person [Ronaldo] -- I could spend hours talking about his acts of goodness and qualities. As a Portuguese I am left sad and ashamed." "Thanks to him [Ronaldo] there has been tourism, jobs created and investment on our lovely island which unfortunately is inhabited by some frustrated savages who deserve to live in Syria. People who have no respect and do not know how to live in society."
