While many lauded the 36-year-old for the unprecedented feat, others claimed the prize was little more than a lifetime achievement award.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Katia Aveiro, 46, appeared to agree with the latter as she commented on a social media post praising the exploits of the Portuguese great shortly after Monday&#8217;s ceremony.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The post on X, formerly Twitter, showed the 38-year-old surrounded by his raft of personal honours including three UEFA Men&#8217;s Player of the Year awards, four European Golden Shoes and five Ballon d&#8217;Ors.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/02\/17\/77332111-12703577-Katia_Aveiro_liked_and_commented_on_a_post_that_appeared_to_take-a-33_1698946789859.jpg\" height=\"756\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Katia Aveiro liked and commented on a post that appeared to take a dig at Lionel Messi<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/02\/17\/65765335-12703577-Katia_isn_t_afraid_to_offer_an_opinion_if_things_go_against_her_-a-17_1698946035079.jpg\" height=\"634\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Katia Aveiro (L) has been a vocal supporter of her brother Cristiano Ronaldo in recent years<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/02\/17\/77193621-12703577-Lionel_Messi_claimed_his_eighth_Ballon_d_Or_title_on_Monday_nigh-a-18_1698946091661.jpg\" height=\"435\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Lionel Messi claimed his eighth Ballon d&#8217;Or title on Monday night in Paris<\/p>\n<p>The image was accompanied by the caption: &#8216;Earned, not given.&#8217; In an apparent dig at the former Barcelona star who has claimed at least two somewhat contentious prizes in recent years.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Aveiro liked the post and commented with five clapping emojis &#8211; potentially in a nod to her brother&#8217;s own tally or just to emphasise the degree to which she supported the message.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not the first time\u00a0Portuguese pop singer has waded into modern football&#8217;s eternal debate.
