Cristiano Ronaldo Fans Threaten 9-Year-Old Moroccan Girl Over World Cup Taunt

Commenting on the match between Morocco and Portugal in the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Qatar, won by the Atlas Lions (1-0), a 9-year-old Moroccan supporter mocked Cristiano Ronaldo. This provoked the anger of the Portuguese star’s fans, who threatened her with death and rape.

"The airport in Portugal is over there... and where is Ronaldo? He’s crying in his car. Poor Ronaldo," the young Moroccan mocked in a video that went viral on social media. These remarks provoked a reaction from Ronaldo’s fans, who threatened to rape and kill the Moroccan supporter. Some defended her while others openly attacked her.

"She should have celebrated (Morocco’s victory over Portugal) without humiliating an icon of football. Young or old, everything you do has consequences; her parents should have known that, and she should have known that too. It was funny when she said that even if Ronaldo and his supporters were hurt, she would be fine," tweeted one Internet user.

"I love Ronaldo for what he has done for football. When I watched the video of a little Moroccan girl, I laughed a lot, because it was funny and beautiful, especially her expression in the video. And it was just football and fun. So why would some mean souls go and bully a child?" tweeted another Internet user.
