Attending the 2023 Women’s World Cup with Argentina, striker Yamila Rodriguez drew attention when he showed a tattoo of superstar Cristiano Ronaldo on his left leg. It is worth mentioning here that while CR7 is ranked by Rodriguez next to the late legendary Diego Maradona, his rival Lionel Messi does not have that honor.
In the opening round of the 2023 Women’s World Cup group stage, Rodriguez was only on the reserve list and it was not until the 77th minute that she came on to replace Nunez in Argentina’s 0-1 loss to Italy . Although only appeared for more than 10 minutes, Rodriguez still stands out with impressive tattoos on both legs. In particular, the 25-year-old’s left foot has both Maradona and Ronaldo’s pictures printed on it, but her famous compatriot Messi is not present.
Right after Rodriguez showed off her Ronaldo tattoo, she made the online community stir up. There are many people who wonder why she is an Argentinian but does not give Messi the position next to Maradona, while Ronaldo can.
Commenting on this issue, Rodriguez recently shared on Instagram as follows: “Please stop it, that’s enough. Stop claiming I’m an anti-fan of Messi. I just got a tattoo. Ronaldo’s picture on his feet, but have you ever said that you hate Messi?”.
“Messi is the captain of the Argentina national team, and I consider Ronaldo an idol. That’s all and it doesn’t mean that I don’t respect Messi. And who I tattoo is not a matter of concern. bring up controversy”.
“No one has the right to force us to love all the players in our country. Please understand that this is football and everyone has their own preferences. The fact that I have this player tattooed on my leg doesn’t mean anything. I also hate other players,” Rodriguez said.
