Bayern president Hoeness pokes fun at 'relaxing' Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo has been taunted by Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness ahead of Real Madrid’s Champions League semi-final trip to Germany.

Two European heavyweights are set to lock horns at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday in the first leg of an eagerly-anticipated continental clash.

Real will be well rested heading into that encounter, with a seven-day break enjoyed between their last La Liga outing and a key Champions League fixture.

Talismanic forward Ronaldo has been making the most of a welcome rest, posting pictures of himself “relaxing” on his social media channels.

Bayern, though, have sought to make the Portuguese and the rest of his Blancos colleagues aware that they will also be nice and fresh in midweek.
