Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo: The truth will come out

Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo says he's happy with life in Turin.

Ahead of their Champions League clash with Manchester United, Ronaldo addressed nine-year-old sexual assault allegations being leveled against him.

He said, “You're not listening. I'm a happy, happy man. We issued a statement a couple of weeks ago. I'm not here to tell lies, I feel confident in the work of my lawyers.

“I'm having fun playing football, I'm enjoying life and I have people who take care of these things. The truth will come out."

The striker is very familiar with Old Trafford, having made his breakthrough at Manchester United.

“It will be a difficult game, United have a great team," Ronaldo said.

“United are at home, but we're Juventus. If we play well, and we play the way the Coach wants us to play, we can win this game.

“Of course we have to respect Manchester United, they have a fantastic team and a fantastic Coach [Jose Mourinho].

“That said, I expect Juventus to win. Going back to Manchester is always really emotional for me."
