The Juventus star is alleged to have sexually assaulted Kathryn Mayorga in a Las Vegas hotel in 2009
Cristiano Ronaldo has said he expects to be cleared of rape allegations in the new year.
The Juventus star is alleged to have sexually assaulted Kathryn Mayorga in a Las Vegas hotel in 2009.
Ronaldo has repeatedly denied the claims and expects a resolution in the coming months.
"It hurt me to see my family upset about the news, but they know I would never be able to do that," he told Portuguese newspaper Record .
"I was completely calm and very confident that soon everything will be clear."
Ronaldo joined the Serie A champions from Real Madrid in the summer.
He has helped his new side to the top of the league and into the last 16 of the Champions League.
In the process he returned to Old Trafford to face his former club Manchester United.
And he would welcome a trip to Real Madrid with his new side in 2019.
Ronaldo added: "It was fantastic how Manchester supporters always welcomed me when I played at Old Trafford.
"The Santiago Bernabeu has also been my home for many years and will always be a very special stadium for me.
"I do not hide that I have and I will always have a great affection for that club and those fans. We live together unforgettable moments and it does not go away.
"I will return with great pleasure to that stadium and I expect to be well received."

Well,i feel disgusted with lots of barca/messi fans who shows unconditionally hate towards cr7 for whatever the article it is about him. (I dont mean to all barca/messi fans here,surely some of them are nice and can be mature enuff and show respect)..i have one question for them,if ur idol is messi,(well i love messi too surely),why cant u follow his style,messi always show his utmost respect towards cr7 and i never ever once heard he talk bad things about cr7,both of them showing mutual respect to each other,why cant u guys be like the great great messi? I bet even messi would be disgusted by his own fans because he himself never said anything direspectful towards cr7..immature mentality.

This is nothing more than a wildshot at digging money and tarnishing the reputation of Ronaldo. Knowing Ronaldo for what he is, I can vouch for him. He wouldn’t do such a thing. He has always maintained himself. He respects people and their differences. He is straight up and honest. He speaks his mind out. Doesn’t tolerates bullshit. He doesn’t try to maintain a “decent” image of himself in the media. He is exactly what he sells🔥⚽❤😍😘 He is a leader and a team player. He is hardworking. He is a very loving and caring man. He is the world’s best player. HE IS INNOCENT👏🙆🔥✌ VAMOS KING 👑

The greatest thing about him is that he actually stayed true to his word. At a sports star level, he has done all that there is to be done, but on a human level too he has done just that, he is a good guy and anyone who is making false allegations is his haters because he is one of football greats and icon. 7️⃣⚽ #CR7 forever ❤️💙
