Before the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals against Galatasaray, Cris Ronaldo is appearing extremely relaxed. It is unclear whether he came to the Muslim country to play football or to relax.
At 2:30 this morning Vietnam time (21:30 local time), Cris Ronaldo and Real arrived in Istanbul, Turkey. Then in the afternoon, CR7 left the hotel to go for a walk on a yacht. An hour ago, he updated his trip photos on his personal Facebook page.
After 1 hour of posting, the photo of CR7 going out received more than 118,000 likes, nearly 5,400 comments and 4,400 shares.
Tomorrow night, CR7 and his teammates will have the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals against Galatasaray. Leading 3-0 in the first leg, it seems that Cris Ronaldo is not paying much attention to the upcoming battle. According to teammate Ozil, the Portuguese midfielder even planned to stay in Turkey for 4 days, and will not be in Madrid until Friday!
Remember 2 years ago, CR7 and his girlfriend Irina went to Turkey for a vacation. It is very likely that after the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals ends (and Real advances), Cris Ronaldo will call his girlfriend to invite her to the Muslim country for a short vacation.
