This is why probably, in the game against Tottenham, I left,” Ronaldo added later.

Thank you for existing Cristiano. 🐐
Furthermore, talking about the interview, Ronaldo also addressed the media rumors which understood that none of the clubs is interested in signing Ronald.
"What they say the last three months is completely garbage and wrong. They say that they offer me this and that, and many presidents and directors speak about it, but they reject me. It's a complete lie, they lie. Because this is not what's happened. I have many clubs, not many, a few clubs that they want me to sign, and I didn't go because I feel comfortable here. This is the truth,” clarified Ronaldo.
