"Real" Madrid leader Cristiano Ronaldo denied reports that during the royal club's training he does not speak respectfully about the principal rival from the "Barcelona" club.
It is said that the Portuguese calls the Catalan team's forward Lionel Messi a "son of a b**ch".
"This is completely untrue. I have instructed my lawyer to take action against those spreading rumors," Ronaldo wrote on his social media account.
"I have always respected my colleagues and L. Messi is no exception."
