Football superstar Lionel Messi, Neymar Jr and Cristiano Ronaldo appear to have been threatened by Islamic State after a series of sick pictures has emerged on twitter, reports popular Spanish sports online portal Marca.

The terrorist group have continued their threats into the world of football by sending a message to Cristiano Ronaldo. A poster uncovered by terrorism monitoring portal group shows Ronaldo knelled down with a black eye in front of a terrorist with a knife.
