Cristiano Ronaldo may be involved in a huge allegation at the moment but that does not keep the Portuguese international away from the game as he is now ready for the next part of his career.
The 32-year old has had a stellar season at the Bernabeu where he helped his side to the Champions League and the domestic league title for the first time in three years.
He became one of the few players to retain the Champions League trophy and was in stupendous form recently, scoring 10 goals in the last three knockout fixture in the previous season in the Champions League.
He has now won nine titles in just over 13 months and at 32, is still going strong, standing as one of the best players in Europe, if not the best.

However, he was recently involved in an allegation of tax fraud, which could easily land him behind bars.
Allegations have surfaced from Spanish prosecutors regarding a whopping 14.7 million euros of missing commitments.
This came as a huge blow for the player’s fans as it could have easily meant that Ronaldo would miss this international season up ahead.
However, Marca, a Spanish news publication has now reported that he was all smiling in the recent training session and that he seems to have not allowed the allegations take him over.
The reports suggest that Ronaldo was engaged in a long conversation with Pepe and coach Fernando Santos before starting the training session and that he looks as ready as ever for the next competition.

Marca claims that in the 20 minutes that they were able to grasp a look at the Real Madrid man, he looked in a jovial mood as if the allegations were non-existent.
Portuguese start their Confederations Cup run in with Mexico on the 18th of June and Ronaldo will hope to take his side as far as possible as a warm-up for the World Cup in Russia next year.
However, it will be interesting to see if the allegations on him come back to haunt him at a later stage in the competition.
But at the moment, like always, he looks strong and confident to take on the next big journey in his career.
