“Who is that guy?” – Ronaldo Responds to Van der Vaart’s ‘Selfish’ Comment
Cristiano Ronaldo has hit back at his former Real Madrid teammate Rafael van der Vaart after the Dutchman criticized him in a recent interview.
The exchange between the two former footballers came after Van der Vaart labeled Ronaldo as “selfish” during an appearance on talkSPORT.
Ronaldo and Van der Vaart shared a brief spell together at Real Madrid, where the Portuguese star was already becoming a global football sensation.
Although they were teammates for a short period, their relationship has now come into the spotlight following Van der Vaart’s controversial remarks.
In the interview, Van der Vaart acknowledged Ronaldo’s exceptional work ethic but took aim at his mentality, describing him as “selfish.”
The former Tottenham star suggested that Ronaldo was only satisfied when he found the back of the net, implying that his focus on personal achievements sometimes overshadowed the team’s success.
Not one to shy away from a response, Ronaldo took to Instagram, where he posted a blunt four-word comment: “Who is that guy?”
The simple yet pointed remark seemed to dismiss Van der Vaart’s criticism entirely, indicating that Ronaldo had little regard for the opinions of his former teammate.

Ademola Lookman has praised his Atalanta side for their strong showing against Real Madrid, despite suffering a narrow 3-2 loss in their UEFA Champions League clash at the Gewiss Stadium on Tuesday night.
The match marked the first defeat for the reigning UEFA Europa League champions in the Champions League this season, but Atalanta’s performance sent a clear message: they are capable of competing with Europe’s best.
Lookman, who scored Atalanta’s second goal in the intense encounter, was named Man of the Match for his standout contribution.
His goal helped keep the pressure on the Spanish giants, but despite their efforts, Atalanta could not find an equalizer after a dramatic late goal from Real Madrid sealed the victory.
Reflecting on the match, Lookman shared his thoughts with UEFA.com, emphasizing the team’s pride in their performance, despite the result.
“It was a tough game, and Real Madrid took their chances when they had them,” Lookman said.
“We knew going into the match that it would be a hard-fought contest, and although we were unlucky not to come away with a win, we have our heads held high.”
Although disappointed with the final scoreline, the Nigerian forward expressed the belief that Atalanta had shown enough to demonstrate their ability to compete at the highest level.
“We are disappointed with the result because we felt we could have done more,” Lookman continued, “but there’s also a lot of pride in how we played.
We showed that we can go toe-to-toe with the best.”
