cheating, tax evasion and almost went to prison for 5 years. There are three dark history you don't know about Ronaldo. The first thing is that Ronaldo had two major events in 2010 that attracted global attention. One is that he officially announced his relationship with Russian supermodel Ilena, and the other is that he suddenly had a son named Ronaldo Jr., but Ronaldo Jr.'s biological mother is back in 2009. That was Ronaldo's last season for Manchester United. He and his friends went to the United States. One night they went to a restaurant. During dinner, Ronaldo noticed a beautiful waitress and left his phone number to the waitress. The two had a century-old war that night. A few months later, Ronaldo's agent told him that the waitress was pregnant. In order to avoid scheming, he decided to use money to settle all this. He waved his hand and threw it to the waitress $11 million, keeping the other party silent and giving up all rights, and obediently gave birth to the child for Ronaldo to raise it. Until today, everyone, including Ronaldo Jr., does not know who his biological mother is. The second thing is that Ronaldo was almost arrested and imprisoned for tax evasion in 2017. At that time, the Spanish government found out that Ronaldo secretly transferred $17 million to an offshore account from 2011 to 2014 to avoid paying more taxes. After the Spanish government discovered it, he gave him two choices, five years in prison or a fine of $28 million. Ronaldo decisively chose to pay the fine, after all, he made the money back in a few months.

The third item, driving a luxury car caused dissatisfaction with the coach. On August 27, 2021, Ronaldo returned to Manchester United and signed a huge contract worth $72 million with the club. He then spent $600,000 to buy a Lamborghini Urus and a Bentley Flying Spurs, and drove them to participate in training, which attracted great attention. After seeing these news, head coach Ferguson asked the players not to drive luxury cars during training, and could not give fans the impression that players show off their wealth but do not train well
