Cristiano Ronaldo Hits back at insects

Cristiano Ronaldo has posted a bizarre message on social media, a day after appearing in court over tax allegations.
The Real Madrid and Portugal forward spent more than 90 minutes answering the questions of investigating judge Monica Gomez on Monday to determine whether he committed tax fraud worth almost €15m.

On Tuesday night, the 32-year-old took to Instagram and said: "What bothers people is my glow. Insects only attack lights that shine."
According to a statement from his representatives, Ronaldo told the judge he had always filed his tax returns and "never had the intention of evading taxes".
Reports in Spain said the player implied during his court hearing that he was only being investigated because of who he is.
"I am only here because my name is Cristiano Ronaldo," he told the judge, according to Spanish newspaper El Mundo.
Ronaldo had been expected to speak to reporters outside the court after the hearing but instead his spokesman Inaki Torres emerged to announce the player "was on his way home"
