Cristiano Ronaldo's sister has mocked Lionel Messi's bicycle kick with an "obsessed" social media post.
Messi scored a stunning acrobatic goal to cap Paris Saint-Germain's 5-0 win over Clermont Foot on Saturday night, his second goal of the match. He even had his name chanted by opposition fans after the impressive overhead kick, which has drawn comparisons to Ronaldo's stunning goal against Juventus back in 2018.
But Ronaldo's sister Katia Aveiro even liked an Instagram post which commented on the comparisons between the two, claiming the Portugal forward's strike was far superior to the one scored by Messi.

The post, which featured images of both goals, was captioned: "One is a handgun and the other is a bicycle. One is in the French Championship against Clermont and the other is in the knockout stage of the Champions League against Juventus.
"In one, the player puts his hands on the pitch, the other foot also and it would barely be possible to put a mattress between his body and the field, while the other has his body completely off the pitch and the space between his body and the field.
"It's so much that the player in the top image would fit and if he hesitated, there would still be a little left hahaha. Never compare…"
In addition to liking the post, Aveiro also commented a series of clapping emojis underneath the images, causing one fan to tweet: "Should we even be surprised anymore? This family is so obsessed."
Who will score more goals this season, Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi? Let us know in the comments section below.
Ronaldo and Messi's seasons have got off to contrasting starts as both the Premier League and Ligue 1 got back under way this weekend.
Unlike Messi, who scored twice in PSG's mauling of Clermont, Ronaldo was unable to get on the scoresheet as Manchester United laboured to a 2-1 loss at home to Brighton & Hove Albion.
The 37-year-old started the match on the bench before being introduced in the second half, with United trailing by two goals.
His future remains up in the air following links with a potential departure after the Red Devils missed out on Champions League qualification last season.
