Cristiano Ronaldo broke coronavirus rules - reports

The Juventus striker allegedly travelled to Courmayeur for his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez’ birthday.

CRISTIANO RONALDO broke coronavirus travel restrictions with a trip to a mountain resort, according to media reports Thursday.

Juventus striker Ronaldo allegedly travelled to Courmayeur, 150 kilometres north-west of the Serie A club’s Turin headquarters, for his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez’ birthday.

When contacted by AFP, Juve declined to comment.

Rodriguez, who turned 27 on Wednesday, apparently posted a video of the couple on a snowmobile on Instagram.

She later removed it, but it was picked up by several Italian news sites.

The Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper said Ronaldo and Rodriguez spent Tuesday night in a hotel and took a ride in the snow the next morning, before returning to Turin.

Under current Italian coronavirus rules, the couple should not have left the town of Turin. They each risk a fine of €400.

The 35-year-old footballer has been embroiled in coronavirus-related controversy before.

He was criticised in October for travelling to Portugal while Juventus were in isolation after two virus cases. 

Ronaldo then tested positive himself, and returned to Italy to spend a couple of weeks in isolation at home. 

At the time, Italian Sports Minister Vincenzo Spadafora accused the star of “violating” coronavirus restrictions.

    Anyone you knew all the answers bar the Els one deserves top marks. If you seriously knew the answer to the Antrim hurling manager question, our Fifa world ranking and some question about a women’s rugby tournament then well played, and this without Google searches of course!

    9 out of 10. So close. I do admit to a couple of guesses though.

    3 out of ten; wooden spoon – well that was accurate! The real sports fans are probably all out training or supporting fitter people today.
