Long live Messi, CR7 is an a*****e – Diego Maradona’s hacked account insults Ronaldo
Since the legendary Argentine player died in November 2020, his daughter Dalma has been in charge of his account, with help from other family members. But on Tuesday (May 23), a few of the account’s posts became very popular on the social networking site right away.
The content of the messages made it seem like someone might have hacked into them. In the first tweet, Maradona’s death was called into question. In the second, Cristiano Ronaldo was viciously attacked. The first message was:
“They do know that I faked my death, right?”
28,000 followers responded to the original message, which the hacker then removed. The hacker then posted:
“In heaven there is no Coke, just Pepsi.”
The hacker then said nice things about Lionel Messi, who is the captain of Argentina, and used the opportunity to say bad things about Cristiano Ronaldo. The hacker wrote online:
“Long live Messi, CR7 is an a*****e.”

A little while later, there was another Anime update posted:
“One Piece is better than any other current anime.”
We still don’t know why or who is to blame for this data leak. After a few strange comments showed up on Diego Maradona’s account, his family and management team looked into the problem and found that it had been hacked. In a statement, the Maradona family said:
“We regret to inform you that Diego Maradona’s official Facebook account has suffered a cyber attack. We are working to reverse this hacking as soon as possible.”
The posts became very popular quickly and were talked about a lot on social media. Fans of football have been arguing about who is the GOAT between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo for the past 15 years. The two stars, on the other hand, are getting close to the end of their careers, and if rumors are true, they may renew their rivalry in Saudi Arabia.
Ronaldo joined Al-Nassr earlier this year, while Al-Hilal, Al-biggest Nassr’s rival in the Saudi Pro League, has been trying to sign Messi. The PSG star hasn’t decided what he’s going to do next, but it’s thought that he may leave Parc des Princes this summer. Fans say that Messi finished his legacy by winning the World Cup last year, and some even call him the best Argentine player ever, above Diego Maradona, because of it.
