Gary Lineker Slams Ronaldo For Posting Photo From His Jet Following Sala Disappearance

CRISTIANO RONALDO has been slammed for posting a photograph from a private jet shortly after Cardiff's new signing Emiliano Sala went missing.

Gary Lineker was among the social media users to hit back at the Juventus superstar, who was in court today, for his badly timed selfie.

Cardiff are praying for positive news after Sala's plane vanished over the Channel Islands as he made his way to Wales after the £15 million deal.

The 28-year-old is feared dead as rescuers reportedly expect "no survivors" to be found after the aircraft lost contact at 8.30pm last night.

But Ronaldo appeared oblivious to the tragedy as he posed for a selfie while sat in the comfort in his private jet.

He simply captioned the tweet with three emojis - of a smiling face, an aeroplane and a thumbs up.

Lineker immediately responded: "Not the day for this tweet. It really isn't."




He added: "Not at all, and I'm sure he's done it without knowledge or awareness, but perhaps someone could let him know."
