Michael Owen has upset former Real Madrid teammates Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos after he poked fun at the Brazilian striker’s weight on social media.
I thought I was putting the pounds on until I saw my old mate Ronnie! pic.twitter.com/OeuWm23b9s

The joke fell flat with both Brazilian stars leaving Ronaldo ‘shocked’ at the interest in his ever-expanding waistline.
‘I am shocked as to how much importance my weight garners in the world we live in. I don’t know why it is so important, to be honest,’ Ronaldo said in AS.
Roberto Carlos backed up his former colleague when he said, ‘I don’t like these type of jokes. Ronaldo is a very good friend of mine and we have to be careful. The thing about Ronaldo is not about his body, it’s his heart, he has a very big heart.’
