‘Somewhere, Ronaldo is winking’: Social media piles in on penalty-missing Messi after poor match

Cristiano Ronaldo's hat-trick against Spain the day before wasn't making it any easier.
Messi misses a penalty and somehow, somewhere, I think Ronaldo May be winking.

But for all that, the admirers still outnumber the haters, even on the most vicious and knee-jerk football forum in the world.
