Michael Owen has sent parts of Twitter into a furious frenzy on Saturday with a joking dig at legendary striker Ronaldo's weight on the social media platform.

Owen was at the Santiago Bernabeu as a Ballon d'Or winner as part of the public awarding of Cristiano Ronaldo's trophy that he won last month.

Ronaldo and Owen played for the same Real Madrid team for a short spell and the ex-England international couldn't resist a quick joke at the Brazilian's expense.
