CRISTIANO RONALDO’S sister have launched an attack on Juventus boss Maurizio Sarri after he scored a 55th career hat-trick last night.
The Portuguese superstar grabbed another three goals in a 6-0 demolition of Lithuania – just days after his controversial “injury.”

Ronaldo, 34, was subbed off after 55 minutes in Juventus’ game against AC Milan last weekend and stormed down the tunnel after seemingly mouthing ‘What the f***’ to his manager.
Sarri insisted that he was struggling with a knee injury but Ronaldo later quashed those claims and insisted he is “very good.”
And so it proved after he reached his 98th international goal – sparking a reaction from his own family.
One sister, Katia Aveiro wrote on Instagram with a picture of Ronaldo: “Don’t mess with him.”
According to Italian publication Corriere dello Sport, his other sister Elma added: “God does not fail. He is fit, so now what?”
Ronaldo’s friend also had a pop at former England boss Fabio Capello after saying “he hadn’t dribbled past anyone for years.”
Miguel Paixao sarcastically fired back: “I think you should have also dribbled past the defence before scoring.”
Ronaldo lasted 83 minutes of Portugal’s win before he was subbed off and national boss Fernando Santos further ignited the feud.
Asked if Ronaldo was OK after being subbed off, Santos said: “He’s fine. I had no doubt about that, as I said before the match. Other people did, but I didn’t have any doubts.”
If the feud continues with Sarri, SunSport explored five places Ronaldo could go if he was to leave Juve – including Inter Miami and an Old Trafford return.
Ronaldo netted his 700th career goal last month, doing so in Portugal colours, but he has scored only once in his last five appearances for Juve.
