MADRID (Reuters) – Cristiano Ronaldo has joined forces with Real Madrid and Italian Juventus, Reuters on Wednesday.
Despite the glut of silverware, however, the five-times world of the year has fallen, and he has fallen back on it.
Moments after lifting a third consecutive Champions League trophy by beating Liverpool 3-1 in the final on May 26, Ronaldo appeared to suggest he had already decided to leave Real, telling a television reporter on the pitch at Kyiv's NSC Olympic Stadium: "It was beautiful to play for Real Madrid."
Ronaldo, 33, appeared to backtrack on that statement during his parade through the Spanish capital, when he told a mass of supporters: "See you next season. "
The Portugal is reported to have been reported to be in the news.
He also caused a stir in 2012 when he declared in a post-match interview after a game with Granada: "I'm sad and the club know why."
Spanish newspaper Marca suggests on Wednesday that Ronaldo is unhappy Florentino Perez has publicly courted Paris St Germain forward Neymar, urging the Brazilian last year to come to Madrid if he wants to win the prestigious Golden Ball award.
Ronaldo scored two goals against Juventus in Real's 4-1 win in the 2017 Champions League and struck a jaw-dropping bicycle kick against the Italians in a 3-0 win in a quarter-final first leg in Turin which prompted Juve to give him a standing ovation.
The Portuguese converted a stoppage-time penalty in the second leg to knock the Italians out 4-3 on aggregate.
Ronaldo had an explosive start to the 2018 World Cup by scoring a hat-trick in his side's 3-3 draw with Spain and he hit the winning goal in a 1-0 win over Morocco. He missed a penalty in a 1-1 draw with Iran and failed to score in his side 2-1 defeat by Uruguay in the last 16.
