Cristiano Ronaldo has been caught up in controversy after flouting coronavirus rules to take his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez on a trip to a luxury ski resort for her 27th birthday.
Ronaldo, 35, who was rested for Juve’s 4-0 Coppa Italia win against SPAL last night, took his girlfriend to the resort of Courmayer, 93 miles from Turin, crossing the borders between Piedmont and Valle D’Aosta for a two-day trip.
According to Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport, they stayed in a hotel that would have been officially closed, while Ronaldo and Rodriguez were also recorded on a snowmobile – yet Italian Covid-regulations state that travel between cities is banned.

The report claims that Ronaldo and Rodriguez spent two days in the snow in the Val Veny area, in the same resort that Rodriguez spent her birthday last year without Ronaldo.
It adds that the pair have not been fined, but the video showing the pair in the resort on social media was taken down immediately.
The fine Ronaldo faces is €400 (£354), which is as much as Ronaldo makes in seven minutes.
Rules state that: ‘Travel across regions in Italy is banned until 15 February unless for reasons of work, health or absolute necessity.’
On her 27th birthday, Rodriguez posted an Instagram of her, Ronaldo and their young family, saying: ‘INFINITE THANKS. For so much love received today…
‘And always… for your best wishes, for your attention, for the details and your loving messages. I am very lucky.’
