Cristiano Ronaldo has bitten back at Sepp Blatter with a remarkable sarcastic post on Facebook after the FIFA president impersonated the Real Madrid star in a speech to the Oxford Students Union.

During a discussion in which Blatter said he preferred Lionel Messi, the FIFA president got out of his chair to do an impersonation of Ronaldo. Blatter also seems to have a dig at the Madrid forward, saying that 'one has more expenses for the hairdresser than the other'.

But Ronaldo said on his Facebook page: 'This video shows clearly the respect and consideration that FIFA has for me, for my club and my country.

'Much is explained now. I wish Mr. Blatter health and a long life, with the certainty that he will continue to witness, as he deserves, the successes of his favourite teams and players.'
