Cristiano Ronaldo's girlfriend: "He gave us a huge scare"
What happened? According to the Spanish broadcaster "Cadena 100", the "Juventus Turin" player's cat ran into the street in Italy and was hit by a car. The animal is said to have floated in mortal danger. That is why Ronaldo and his girlfriend Georgina Rodríguez, 27, decided to let Pepe fly to Madrid so that he could be treated there, the report said. The flight with the private jet is said to have cost the footballer 3,000 euros. "He gave us a huge scare," Rodríguez is said to have told the Spanish edition of "Instyle".
The sports newspaper "Marca" reports that Pepe was brought back to Italy after the treatment in Spain. After a month of treatment there, the cat is now back in Spain – with Rodríguez's sister. "He is now in the best hands," said the family member.
