Ryanair had already made jokes about Cristiano Ronaldo, starting with mocking the fact that the player had spent 90 minutes on the bench during a Portugal match against Norway in the Nations League. In that context, Ryanair said in an online post: “If Ronaldo can sit in a chair for 90 minutes, so can you”.
Before that, in May, the airline also replied to a post by the Portuguese international celebrating his first Saudi league title with Al Nassr. At the time, Ronaldo shared a photograph featuring several images of himself with the caption “Champions”. Ryanair responded by asking: “Doesn't he have any teammates?”.
Before the Nations League match, Ryanair had also taken aim at Cristiano Ronaldo following his championship victory with Al Nassr, when Ronaldo posted an image featuring several pictures of himself with the caption “Champions”. In that context, Ryanair replied by asking whether Ronaldo had no other teammates.















Ryanair planes can be late.
But not five years late.
