Former Arsenal star Mesut Ozil has jumped to the defence of Cristiano Ronaldo after the forward was criticised for his controversial actions with club and country.
After having his Manchester United contract terminated by mutual consent last month, Ronaldo fell out with national team coach Fernando Santos and was dropped for their World Cup clash against Switzerland.
The 37-year-old has come under fire from managers, fans and pundits alike for his recent actions but Ozil has defended his former team-mate and claimed Ronaldo's critics 'just want to get attention'.
