Thieves pinch Ronaldo’s boots

Real Madrid suffered a nasty surprise in the build-up to their Champions League semi-final clash at Bayern Munich last night as Ronaldo and two other players had their boots stolen.

Just before kick-off, a thief stole six pairs of boots and some shirts from Real’s dressing room in the Allianz Arena.

Spanish sports newspaper Marca said Ronaldo had three pairs of boots stolen while a total of three pairs belonging to either Germany’s Mesut Ozil or France’s Karim Benzema were also pinched.

Real have already complained to European football’s governing body UEFA.
