Cristiano Ronaldo become involved in a public row with Italy’s sports minister Friday as the pair indirectly accused each other of lying over whether the Portugal international had broken health rules after testing positive for Covid-19.
Vincenzo Spadafora said Thursday the Juventus forward might have infringed the rules by flying back to Italy from national team duty in Portugal after he tested positive for the virus earlier this week.
But in a social media post Friday, Ronaldo hit back and said he had done everything by the book.
The 35-year old Ronaldo tested positive for Covid-19 Tuesday while he was with the Portugal squad and flew back in a private jet the following day.
Spadafora later replied in an interview with the Italian news agency Ansa.
