Christiansen's statement claims that documents obtained by Der Spiegel were "stolen" and "easily manipulated," adding "it is absolutely deplorable that any media outlet would support or advance such an elaborate and deliberate defamation campaign."

"The documents which purportedly contain statements by Mr. Ronaldo and have been reported in the media are complete fabrications," Christiansen wrote. "It is my understanding that in 2015, dozens of entities [including law firms] across many different industries throughout Europe were hacked and their electronic data was stolen and captured by a cybercriminal. This hacker attempted to sell this data, and one media outlet has now irresponsibly published the stolen documents, significant portions of which were altered and/or completely fabricated. To absolve any doubt, Mr. Ronaldo has always maintained, as he does today, that what occurred in 2009 in Las Vegas was consensual in nature."

Wednesday's statement does verify a non-disclosure agreement between Mayorga and Ronaldo–for which Mayorga was allegedly paid $375,000 for her silence–but the Portuguese star's lawyer stated the agreement is not an admission of guilt or wrongdoing and that the Der Spiegel report is a "breach of that agreement."

"While Mr. Ronaldo does not deny the existence of the mutual agreement and release, his motivations for agreeing to that resolution have been twisted to say the least," Christiansen wrote. "Far from any admission of guilt or any ulterior motive, Mr. Ronaldo was advised to privately resolve the allegations against him in order to avoid the inevitable attempts that are now being made to destroy a reputation that has been built upon hard work, athleticism and honor. Unfortunately, he now finds himself embroiled in the type of litigation that is all too commonplace in America.


"While Mr. Ronaldo is accustomed to being the subject of press attention that goes along with being famous, it is absolutely deplorable that any media outlet would support or advance such an elaborate and deliberate defamation campaign based on stolen, easily manipulated digital documents."

A Madrid base paper is running with a story that real advised him to pay her off.
 
The life of Barcelona and Argentina legend Lionel Messi will be the focus of a new Cirque du Soleil show.

The Montreal-based group of performing artists confirmed the show will go on a world tour in 2019, with exact dates and venues yet to be released.

Previous shows have been inspired by music artists such as the Beatles and Michael Jackson, but this is will be the first to focus on a sports star.

Cirque du Soleil says it "will leap into the passionate world of football" and "draw inspiration from the incredible talent and accomplishments of the football legend, who embodies the unique spirit and values of his sport".

"We are thrilled to be working with such a living legend," added Jonathan Tetrault, president and chief operating officer at Cirque du Soleil.

"We are convinced that bringing Messi's legacy to life on stage will touch audiences and speak to all football fans."
 
Lewis Dunk got his England call up, thats whatsup... Hope he impresses with some diagaz over the midfield to the attackers, a defender that can actually play football...
 
Bit of a joke the England game is behind closed doors though, it works to Croatia's advantage not England... If UEAFA or FIFA want to punish them, they should dock them points...
