Former Real Madrid and Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo's qust to clinch another Ballon d’Or for the sixth time faces a stern teats from former counterpart and FIFA best player of the year award winner Luka Modric.

The Juventus forward, currently facing allegations of rape dating back to 2009 that he strenuously denies. 

American model Kathryn Mayorga claims the £100million Juventus star raped her in a Las Vegas hotel room when she was 25 and working in Rain nightclub inside the Palms Casino Resort.

Mayorga, who is now 34, alleges that Ronaldo agreed to pay her £287,000 to stop her pursuing criminal charges – which could have seen him jailed for life – and gagged her from going public.

But her lawyers are now trying to overturn that alleged settlement. Court documents lodged by her lawyers state Mayorga refused Ronaldo’s advances whilst screaming: “No, no, no”.
