Former Rennes and Montpellier coach Rolland Courbis has scoffed at the claims of crisis surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo has made it clear to Real that he wants to leave this summer after being chased by local tax authorities.

But Courbis believes it's all a ploy, explaining: "I do not believe it for a second, it is not the first time he makes us a worry.

"He does not allow anyone to challenge his honesty. I think it's cinema. An ego crisis.

"He can be pretentious. He can. And he wants to make the country understand his importance."
