The Brazil legend has not taken kindly to his former Real Madrid team-mate poking fun at
his weight at the weekend
Former Brazil and Real Madrid superstar Ronaldo has responded in "shock" to Michael Owen’s jibe about his weight.
Owen took to Twitter after reuniting with his former Blancos team-mate to honour today’s dominant Ronaldo, Cristiano, after his recent
Ballon d’Or win.

Reaction on Twitter was furious in defence of Ronaldo and Owen was widely mocked for being derisory about the World Cup winner'sweight. However, the ex-Brazil international, a three-time FIFA World Player of the Year, has now responded, insisting that he remains perplexed as to the obsession over his weight.
“I am shocked as to how much importance my weight garners in the world we live in. I don't know why it is so important, to behonest,” he said at the FIFA ceremony on Monday.
