Cristiano Ronaldo aims sly dig while making his Premier League title prediction
Ronaldo took a sly dig.
Cristiano Ronaldo aimed a sly dig at one team when making a Premier League title race prediction.
Ronaldo is one of the greatest players of all time, but that doesn't mean he doesn't like watching other sports.
On Saturday night the former Manchester United and Real Madrid man was among a slew of stars who turned up at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to watch Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk.
Before the heavyweight bout, Ronaldo was filmed having a chat with Fury's manager and promoter Frank Warren.

Warren is an avid Arsenal fan, so of course he didn't waste and opportunity to ask the superstar about his team.
Warren joked to Ronaldo: "We're still waiting for you at Arsenal, referencing Arsene Wenger's failed bid to sign the attacker from Sporting Lisbon before he joined Man United.
The Al-Nassr and Portugal star laughed before replying: "They're not going to win the league."
Arsenal are currently second in the Premier League table heading into the final day of the season, two points behind leaders Manchester City.
To win a first title since 2004, Mikel Arteta's side will have to beat Everton on Sunday and hope that City drop points at home to West Ham.
Ronaldo didn't have to travel far to watch the fight, as he currently plays for Riyadh-based side Al-Nassr. He sat ringside next to Anthony Joshua.
The 39-year-old has enjoyed a successful season on a personal level, scoring 42 goals in 42 games in all competitions.
However, Al-Nassr were unable to win the Saudi Pro League title and were knocked out of the AFC Champions League at the quarter-final stage.
