(GSM) – Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo will take legal action against a Spanish television program after it claimed the Portuguese star threw a party before his team’s 2-0 defeat at the hands of Barcelona.
In a statement, Ronaldo denied the accusations that he held wild parties at his house before and after the defeat to Primera Division rivals Barcelona.
The former World Player of the Year released the following statement:
“It has come to my attention that in the programme ‘Salva-Me’ on Spanish television channel Telecinco, there were references made to alleged parties held at my house, one on Friday, the eve of the game against Barcelona, which reportedly lasted until five in the morning, and one on Saturday night itself, interspersed with several comments which were intolerably depreciating to my dignity and my professionalism.
“I categorically refute such accusations, which are completely false and delusional: there is really not even one iota of truth in them.
“With a game the next day, it is more than obvious that I spent Friday night resting and, on Saturday night, my spirit was anything but festive.
“Considering the gravity of the charges, I have instructed my lawyers to, without any reflection, use all legal means to restore the truth of the matter and ensure that those responsible are punished to the fullest extent legally provided.”
