Cristiano Ronaldo’s sister Katia declares Brazil allegiance after Portugal World Cup draw
The 2026 World Cup has been full of excitement and standout performances from some of the biggest stars in the world of soccer. Erling Haaland, Lionel Messi, and Kylian Mbappé have all made their mark with impressive displays on the field, leading their teams to victory with goals and stellar performances.
However, one superstar who has not quite lived up to expectations so far is Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal. In a disappointing 1-1 draw against Congo DR, Ronaldo failed to find the back of the net and has faced criticism for his lackluster performance. As a player who is no stranger to scrutiny, Ronaldo has the opportunity to bounce back in Portugal’s upcoming group stage matches.
The criticism directed at Ronaldo seems to have ruffled the feathers of his sister, Katia Aveiro, a Portuguese pop singer. Aveiro took to Instagram to express her frustration with the team’s performance, highlighting their struggles to make key plays and launch effective counter-attacks. Her post went viral, drawing attention to the disappointment surrounding Portugal’s performance in the World Cup.
In a surprising turn of events, Aveiro also shared posts on her Instagram story wearing a Brazil outfit ahead of their match against Haiti. This raised eyebrows, considering her strong connection to Portugal through her brother Ronaldo. However, Aveiro is married to Brazilian businessman Alexandre Bertolucci, which explains her support for Brazil. Despite this connection, it is still unusual to see her openly supporting another country while her brother competes in what could be his final World Cup.
As the 2026 World Cup continues to unfold, all eyes will be on Ronaldo and Portugal as they look to redeem themselves and make a strong comeback in the tournament. With the support of his family and fans, Ronaldo will have the opportunity to showcase his talent and lead his team to success on the global stage.
