Cristiano Ronaldo, in 2019, was involved in a rape case. The alleged victim, Kathryn Mayorga, would have received around 300 thousand dollars from the former Juventus superstar in order to keep silent. Despite the accusation, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner was acquitted by the Clark County Prosecutor's Office (Las Vegas). "It cannot be proved," they pointed out.
However, someone who was very critical of Cristiano Ronaldo at the time was Alex Morgan, figure of the United States Women's National Team that won the Women's World Cup this year in France. Now, in an interview with Sports Illustrated, Morgan talked about 'CR7' again, with whom she will cross paths at the upcoming FIFA The Best gala.
"The truth is that I don't plan on approaching him like I would approach anyone I meet. Today, women speak up and it's important to listen to them. Many wonder who is right in these types of cases, but when you look at Cristiano, I consider that there is too much evidence to cover up and money covers everything," she said about the former Real Madrid player.

Likewise, she believes that being a great football player is one thing, and who someone is in reality is another. "One thing is how he is on the field and another is as a person. I will continue to stay true to what I feel about the things that matter the most," added the American forward.
On the other hand, Cristiano Ronaldo has just scored a goal in Portugal's 4-2 victory against Serbia in the Euro 2020 qualifiers. This Tuesday, the UEFA Nations League champion will face Lithuania as an away team.
