Minister: C. Ronaldo, who returned to Italy, violated the rules © JumpStory

Attacker Cristiano Ronaldo got involved in a scandalous story. The leader of the Portuguese national team and Turin's "Juventus", who recently was diagnosed with coronavirus, decided to return to Italy, but violated the country's rules. As stated by the state sports minister Vincenzo Spadafora, the player could not cross the border. "Arriving without the permission of health institutions, he violated the rules," the politician criticized. Meanwhile, the "Juventus" team released a public statement about the athlete who arrived in Turin on Wednesday evening: "C. Ronaldo returned to Italy on a medical flight, which was approved by the relevant institutions at the footballer's request. The athlete will continue self-isolating at home." Portugal will be forced to miss matches against the "Cortona" and "Verona" clubs, as well as the Champions League meeting against Kyiv's "Dynamo". It is currently questionable whether he will be able to appear in the match against the "Barcelona" club, which is scheduled for October 28.
