It is the news that has paralyzed the world, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Cristiano Ronaldo and his team of lawyers presented this Wednesday a claim for 19.5 million euros in unpaid salaries at the end of the 2020-21 season due to the pandemic.

The Turin team was already notified of this and they excuse themselves that this debt was rejected when he left for Manchester United, but in the Portuguese's defense they indicate that this is not the case and a ruling is expected in April 2024.

This has quickly been compared to what Lionel Messi did with FC Barcelona, since the Argentine reduced his salary by up to 70% during the time of covid 19. This, due to a statement from Barcelona where they commented as follows: "The time has come to announce that, apart from the 70% reduction in our salary during the state of alarm, we are also going to make some contributions so that the employees of the club can collect 100% of their salary while this situation lasts”
