'And he was apparently finished'- Virat Kohli hits out at Cristiano Ronaldo critics after his spectacular performance against PSG

Virat Kohli, the Indian cricket superstar, and a well-known football enthusiast, recently took to social media to express his admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo's performance against Paris Saint-Germain in a friendly match. Ronaldo, who is 38 years old, scored two goals in the 4-5 loss against the French team.

In his post, Kohli praised Ronaldo for "still doing it at the highest level" despite his age, and took aim at critics who had written off the Portuguese forward in recent months. He wrote, "The football experts sitting and criticising him every week for attention and to be in the news are conveniently quiet now that he's put in this kind of performance against one of the top clubs in the world. And he was apparently finished."

 Cristiano Ronaldo fans found the Instagram story of Virat Kohli very lovable

Kohli's words ring true for many fans of Ronaldo, who have watched as the five-time Ballon d'Or winner has faced a wave of criticism in recent seasons. Some have questioned his age and suggested that his best days are behind him, while others have pointed to his declining goal-scoring statistics as evidence of a decline in form.

However, Ronaldo's performance against PSG was a reminder of his enduring class and ability. Despite the criticism, he continues to prove his doubters wrong, time and time again.

It's not just Kohli, but many fans and experts around the world who were in awe of Ronaldo's performance, and it's clear that he still has a lot to offer at the highest level of the game. His ability to perform at the highest level even at this age is a testament to his hard work, dedication, and passion for the game. It's a reminder that age is just a number, and true champions never give up.

Ronaldo signed up for Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr in a $200 million deal after his FIFA World Cup 2022 disappointment. Meanwhile, Lionel Messi won the mega event in Qatar with Argentina after defeating France in the final.
