Ronaldinho's son is mocked online after making his Barcelona debut
Football
Cristiano Ronaldo has been criticised for causing the dismissal of Rudi Garcia as Al-Nassr coach.
The 59-year-old French tactician has been reportedly shown the door less than a year after taking up the role as head coach of the Riyadh-based outfit.
According to Sportskeeda, the hierarchy of the club have run out of patience with the manager following the team's slump in form, which was worsened by their recent stalemate against Al-Feiha.
Following Garcia's sack, Ronaldo has been blamed by social media users for masterminding the exit of the Frenchman.

"Penaldo joined Al Nassr, and now they aren’t top of the table, and the blame is now on the coach Ronaldo ruined Al Nassr."

"Penaldo is a poison to teams and coaches. How can a player think he is bigger than his coach?"

@BarcaNana1 called Ronaldo out in his comment:
"Biggest crybaby in football. No wonder Perez got rid of him. Madrid has since flourished."

"That's why no coach wanted him in Europe."
