Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo directed Barcelona rival Gerard Pique to his “very pretty” tweet after winning the UEFA Best Player in Europe award.
Outspoken defender Pique courted controversy earlier in the week when he took aim at Madrid’s “easy” Champions League group and run to the final of the competition last season.
Very happy and proud to win such a special award. Thank you to my team mates from Real Madrid and Portugal! ?????????????????? pic.twitter.com/vR61LXyW9o— Cristiano Ronaldo (@Cristiano) August 25, 2016
Ronaldo was asked to respond to the jibe after claiming the individual prize in Monaco on Thursday but refused to rise to the bait.
“Well, I’m not going to answer,” he told the El Larguero radio show. “What I can say to Pique is that he can see my tweet [with a] very pretty photo.”
