The forward's club feel the star deserves "maximum respect" amid allegations of tax evasion in Spain
Real Madrid have issued a statement calling for the "exemplary" Cristiano Ronaldo to be respected amid reports of widespread tax evasion in Spanish football.
A coordinated leak of confidential information by a consortium of 12 European newspapers is set to cast the spotlight on the affairs of numerous high-profile players in La Liga and elsewhere.
Gestifute, the company operated by Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes, insisted last week the Portuguese star is fully compliant with all obligations relating to taxation.
