Barcelona fans use club’s worst player to mock Ronaldo’s title drought

Why let the truth get in the way of a good troll.

Lionel Messi has eight la Liga titles to his name this morning, but his greatest rival in Spain is stuck on a lowly one.

The Argentine secured yet another championship bauble to add to his collection as the Catalans held off the challenge of Real Madrid to claim the title last weekend.

Messi and his team-mates have claimed six of the last eight league titles, which means Ronaldo is stuck on just a single championship since his move from Manchester United in 2009.

You know it’s bad when the BBC are mocking you.

In 7 seasons in Spain, Ronaldo has one La Liga title.

And to add even further injury to Ronaldo’s wounded ego, Barcelona fans gleefully pointed out, perhaps incorrectly, that one of the club’s worst ever players now has two La Liga medals, compared to the Portuguese’s single solitary title.

Brazil’s Douglas is a player you may not have heard much of because he has deemed too sh*te to get anywhere near the first team.

He was signed from Sao Paulo in 2014, but generally has been a liability any time he has got near the pitch.

He played 100 minutes last season, and reduced that to an astounding 14 minutes in the league this term.

Douglas ha jugado 114 minutos en La Liga (100 en 2014-15 y 14 en 2015-16) y tiene dos títulos (sale a título casa 57 minutos. Ni Guardiola)

That means, according to Barca fans at least, he has won a title every 57 minutes.

Not bad going when you look at other player’s only to have won a single league crown.

In the Premier League, you need to play at least ten games to be able to secure a championship medal, but so far we have been unable to find out if there are similar rules in Spain.

Either way, it’s another great way for Barca fans to be able to mock poor Ronnie.
