Manchester United icon Rio Ferdinand once accused Thierry Henry of having beef with Cristiano Ronaldo following an incident between the pair back in 2005. Ferdinand also explained why Brazil icon Ronaldo Nazario had a problem with his former teammate.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Thierry Henry faced off against each other when Manchester United took on Arsenal in the Premier League at Old Trafford during the 2004-05 season. The Red Devils secured an impressive 4-2 win, with Ronaldo notably netting a brace.
However, the two superstars were involved in an incident where Henry appeared to slap Ronaldo's head during the game. During an interview with Andreas Poke in March 2024, Ferdinand stated this was one reason why Henry refuses to praise Cristiano Ronaldo as much compared to his fellow pundits.
