Cristiano Ronaldo's sister Katia Aveiro appeared to claim that her brother's treatment at Manchester United by manager Erik ten Hag is similar to Jesus Christ's crucifixion.
The 37-year-old striker was dropped from the Reds squad to face Chelsea on Saturday evening after he stormed down the tunnel during United's victory over Tottenham Hotspur in midweek.
Ten Hag reacted by axing the Portuguese star from his matchday squad for the clash against the Blues this weekend, with Ronaldo also training alone at Carrington.

Ronaldo's sister, Aveiro, took to Instagram to react to the Dutchman's handling of her brother's situation at Old Trafford, with the singer issuing a thinly-veiled attack on the Reds boss.
"No-one who was born to shine by the hands of God will be undone by someone who has never worn his shoes," she wrote on Instagram.
She also claimed that Ten Hag and the United faithful are "nailing him to the cross" just like Jesus - citing a bible verse alongside photos of her and Ronaldo on social media.
Aveiro wrote: "No-one who was born to shine by the hands of God will be undone by someone who has never worn his shoes.
"He is and will be history. There is a verse in the bible that says: 'This man was handed over to you by God’s deliberate plan and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross.'"
The 45-year-old went on to call the former Real Madrid frontman a warrior who "left home with tears and pain only his loved ones know" to "make a castle out of stones."
She continued: "He fulfilled the promise he made as a 13-year-old boy to his mum and siblings. This is the one whose accent was made fun of and was mocked over his alcoholic dad."
Ronaldo's sister ended her Instagram post by insisting that she felt "privileged to have been born in the same family as this marvellous human being."
It comes after Katia's older sibling, Elma, claimed that 'Karma exists' and warned Ten Hag that 'God never sleeps' in a furious social media post after the United man walked down the tunnel early against Spurs.
