The Portuguese forward, who is now on the books at Italian giants Juventus, has been in the Spanish capital on Tuesday to appear before a judge.

Cristiano Ronaldo has pleaded guilty to tax charges relating to his time at Real Madrid and accepted a suspended prison sentence.

The Portuguese was in the Spanish capital on Tuesday to appear before a judge after being accused of defrauding authorities out of income generated through image rights.

He was, however, accused by a state prosecutor of four counts of tax fraud from the period of 2017 to 2014. Ronaldo was said to have hidden €14.7 (£13m/ 17m) in shell companies outside of Spain.
