Cristiano Ronaldo: It's not for me to speak about Real Madrid

-

Juventus are taking on Manchester United in the Champions League this midweek and Cristiano Ronaldo made a rare media appearance on the eve of the match, although he wouldn't discuss the crisis at his former club Real Madrid.
He did, though, speak about the rape allegations made against him, his return to Old Trafford and the game.
"I don't want to compare Real Madrid with Juventus, they are both unbelievable teams and fantastic clubs," he said at the press conference when asked about Los Blancos' poor run of results without him.
"I'm happy to be at such a great team like Juventus and it's a new chapter in my life after Manchester United and Real Madrid.
"This is not really the right time to ask about Real Madrid.
"It's not up to me to speak about Real Madrid."
Earlier in the day, Isco has said that Real Madrid can't cry about someone who didn't want to be at the club.
"That seems fine to me," he said in response to a question about the midfielder's remarks.
The other major discussion point was the allegations made against him by Kathryn Mayorga.
"We did the statement two weeks ago," he said.
"Of course I'm not going to lie on this situation.
"My lawyers are confident and I am too.
"The truth always comes in the first position.
"I know I am an example, 100 per cent, on the pitch and off the pitch.
"I always smile, I'm blessed, I play at a fantastic club, I have a fantastic family, I'm healthy, I have everything.
"The rest does not affect me."
Individual awards were also mentioned, with the player stating that he isn't too disappointed not to have won The Best.
"This is not the most important thing, I'm not too upset about individual awards," he said.
"My last two months in Juventus were amazing and everything has gone well.
"The adaptation has gone well.
"The awards don't mean everything, it's not a problem."
As for the game on Tuesday night, it's a return to his former club and he spoke about United and about his expectations for the match.
"It's a huge emotional thing for me to come back," he told the reporters.
"I know all about the history, I won trophies here.
"Sir Alex Ferguson is someone I will never ever forget and I would like to express my best wishes to him.
"It's going to be a tough match.

Barcelona corporate director Pancho Schroder concedes Lionel Messi's huge buyout clause may not be enough to frighten off big spenders. The Argentine maestro put a halt to speculation he could leave the Catalan giants by signing a contract extension until 2021 in November, with the deal including a €700 million release clause. But Schroder told Sky Sports: "We have established a clause that we consider sufficient for Messi to retire at Barcelona, but, having said that, a year ago we thought that Neymar's clause was also good enough to keep him and last summer it proved that it was not so. "Looking to the future, I think it's difficult, but I don't have a crystal ball and now things are getting a little crazy."

Soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo has dismissed as “fake news” allegations from a US woman that he raped her in a Las Vegas hotel room in 2009. “What they said today? Fake, fake news,” the Portuguese player said in an Instagram video. “They want to promote [themselves by using] my name. It’s normal. They want to be famous to say my name, but it is part of the job. I am a happy man and all good.” His comments come after German magazine  Der Spiegel  published an interview with Kathryn Mayorga in which she publicly identified herself as the woman making the allegation. The same magazine last year published a  report  stating Ronaldo had reached a $375,000 settlement with an unnamed woman in 2010. Her lawyer told Der Spiegel they are now seeking to nullify that agreement. “I’ve had like these serious breakdowns,” Mayorga told Der Spiegel. “And again, blaming of the rape. And I blame him, and I blame myself for signing that thing.” In a statement provided to BuzzFee...
