It seems that even superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo have to navigate relationship challenges from time to time. The latest reports suggest that the Portuguese striker has banned his long-time partner Georgina Rodriguez from hosting parties after a 2017 incident that involved his arch-rival Lionel Messi and his former team Barcelona. Ronaldo and Rodriguez have been together for seven years and are raising five children together in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where the footballer is currently playing for Al-Nassr. While details of the reported incident are scarce, it’s clear that Ronaldo is taking no chances with regards to his relationship and is keen to avoid any potential drama.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez’s relationship has been anything but smooth sailing. One particular moment that caused tension between the couple happened on April 24, 2017, during the highly anticipated El Clasico match. Georgina, hoping to celebrate a Real Madrid victory, decided to throw an after-party. What she didn’t expect was Barcelona’s Lionel Messi to score a brace and secure a 3-2 win for his team. To make matters worse, Ronaldo failed to make an impact on the game, leaving the football superstar feeling disappointed and angry. This incident just goes to show that even the strongest relationships can be tested in times of defeat.
While Cristiano Ronaldo’s night may have been ruined after the El Clasico loss, his season ultimately ended on a high note. The Portuguese star led Los Blancos to the 2016-17 La Liga title with a total of 93 points, three ahead of his long-time rival, Lionel Messi and Barcelona. However, it seems that Ronaldo is taking no chances when it comes to superstitions. Following the loss, he has reportedly banned his girlfriend, Georgina Rodriguez, from throwing parties in fear that it may lead to future defeats. Despite his beliefs, fans around the world will surely continue to celebrate both Ronaldo’s successes and his quirks.
