A report in Der Spiegel has claimed that Cristiano Ronaldo raped a woman in Las Vegas in June 2009.
The footballer has denied the claims made by the German publication and said that they're "fake news." In an Instagram video, Ronaldo dismissed the claim and said: "They want to promote by my name. It's normal."
According to
Reuters, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner's lawyers have described the allegations as "blatantly illegal".
Ronaldo's solicitor Dr Christian Schertz also
released a statement claiming that he had plans to sue the German publication, claiming that the reporting by Der Spiegel "is probably one of the most serious violations of personal rights in recent years".
