Barcelona Fans Plan To Denounce Cristiano Ronaldo As The Pretender During El Clasico
There is only one Ronaldo according to the Blaugrana faithful, and it is not Cristiano...
Kyle Grey revealed to Goal.com that during some conversations with the Boixos Nois, the Barcelona ultras, they told him they are planning to unveil a huge banner in the form of a club shirt during this weekend's match with Real Madrid.
The shirt will have 'RONALDO' and a large '9' emblazoned on it, and the fans are planning to chant, "Ai solo un Ronaldo, Ai solo un Ronaldo, Ai solo un Ronaldo y no es Portuguese!"
This translates to "There is only one Ronaldo and he isn't Portuguese" - a clear reference to the Brazilian striker who spent the 1996-97 season with the Blaugrana. He scored an incredible 47 goals in 49 games for the club in all competitions, winning the Cup Winners Cup, the Copa del Rey and a host of individual awards.
Some Barcelona fans added that they found the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo wears number '9' offensive to "the real Ronaldo". The Portuguese star looks set to feature at the Camp Nou on Sunday, but it appears that he will receive a distinctly hostile reception from the home crowd.
