FANS have been joking that Georgina Rodriguez has been BANNED from celebrating Argentina’s World Cup win.
The model, born in Buenos Aires, spent the winter tournament in Qatar supporting Portugal for her beloved Cristiano Ronaldo.
But it was Ronaldo’s great on-field rival Lionel Messi who at last got his hands on football’s most prized possession.
Ronaldo, whose Portugal side were dumped out in the quarter-final stages, has remained radio silent after the thrilling showpiece game.
And so too has his Argentine partner, leading to some hilarious reaction from fans online.
One said: “Georgina Rodriguez is the only Argentine to not celebrate her nation winning the World Cup.
“Thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo the unemployed.”
Another joked: “Ronaldo’s girlfriend, Georgina Rodriguez should at least congratulate her country Argentina.”
One added: “Georgina Rodriguez is the only Argentine who can’t celebrate their trophy.”
Ronaldo, who left Manchester United while on international duty, failed to inspire Portugal past the last eight, losing to Morocco.

Meanwhile, Argentina beat holders France in a dramatic final that ended 3-3 after extra time, with Messi twice scoring.
The game was decided on penalties where Emi Martinez was the hero of the shootout.
Messi became the first Argentine to lift the World Cup since his idol Diego Maradona, almost four decades ago in 1986.
