CRISTIANO RONALDO decided on some late-season luxury by taking a trip out on a giant yacht with his partner Georgina Rodriguez.
The Juventus star, who scored in his side’s 3-3 shock draw at Sassuolo on Wednesday, uploaded some shots of his impressive getaway on social media.

Ronaldo also had a little yacht break a couple of weeks ago, when he was pictured frolicking in the Med with Georgina and some pals.
Snaps showed the superstar diving and tanning himself on a £30,000-a-week rented yacht.
Earlier in the week, the former Manchester United and Real Madrid man shared a snap of him in the water with Rodriguez and son Mateo on a jeti.

Meanwhile 35-year-old Ronaldo’s other son, Cristiano Jr is holidaying with relatives in Paul do Mar off the south of Madeira.
But the ten-year-old could be in a spot of trouble after he was filmed riding a jet ski alone.
The youngster’s aunt Elma, who is Ronaldo’s sister, loaded the footage on to her social media before removing it.
Portuguese press claimed the video, said to have been taken on Saturday, was also shared by his famous footballer dad and his doting grannie Dolores Aveiro before its removal.

Maritime Police chief Guerreiro Cardoso confirmed today that an investigation was underway.

He told respected Portuguese newspaper Expresso he was aware of what had happened and the incident was now being probed to ascertain exactly what had happened and “whether a fine had to be paid.”
He was also quoted as saying a skipper’s licence was needed to use a jet ski and only adults could hold one.
Under Portuguese law, individual fines for using a jet ski without the proper licence are understood to range between £268 and £2688.

CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN has been told to “show more aggression” if he is to save his Inter Milan career.
The message came from his manager Antonio Conte, who described the Dane as “too shy”.

Italian website Sport Meidaset described how Eriksen is one of ELEVEN players who are available for transfer.
This is despite the 27-year-old only joining from Tottenham in January for £20m.
Inter would likely be asking for £55m for any potential suitors.
Now Gazetta is reporting that Conte has urged Eriksen to “eliminate” his shyness and “be more aggressive”.

Manchester United and Real Madrid were both strongly linked with Eriksen in the January transfer window as he refused Spurs’ pleas to extend his contract beyond this summer.
Old Trafford boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was reportedly willing to pay £40m for him.
But Solskjaer must be delighted he instead spent £68m on Porto’s Bruno Fernandes, who has become an instant Premier League sensation.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid reportedly had a verbal agreement to sign Eriksen, before Zinedine Zidane pulled out of the deal.

ANDREA PIRLO has reportedly agreed to take over as coach of Juventus Under-23s – with the first-team job potentially in his sights.
The former midfielder was first linked with the youth team role a few weeks ago but is now set to make the move official.

On Monday, the Bianconeri kids’ season came to an end as they failed to win promotion to Serie B.
A 2-2 draw with Carrarese eliminated Juve from the play-offs due to their opponents’ higher league ranking and the defeat has cost coach Fabio Pecchia his job.
Following the widespread rumours that Pirlo is ready to take his first step into management, Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano now claims the deal is done.
Football Italia quote him as saying that Juventus chairman Andrea Agnelli has a grand plan to eventually promote the ex-midfielder to the first-team role – much like Pep Guardiola and Zinedine Zidane’s routes to taking charge at Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Maurizio Sarri is set to complete his first season in charge by winning the Scudetto but the club appear to already be identifying his successor.
Reportedly joining Pirlo in Turin as assistant will be ex-Italy international and Napoli youth boss Roberto Baronio.

Pirlo, 41, won two Serie A titles and two Champions Leagues with AC Milan but is arguably more fondly known for his renaissance with Juve in the latter years of his career.
Signing as a free agent in 2011, he lifted the league title in each of his four years at Allianz Stadium.

The Italian hung up his boots after a spell with New York City FC before studying for his coaching badges.
And he will be tasked with bringing Juve’s U23 side up to the second-tier in only their third year of playing senior football, after reserve teams were reintroduced to the Italian league system.

FRUSTRATED Cristiano Ronaldo was hoping for another red letter day of amazing stats – but instead was just lucky to escape a red card.
The Juventus superstar went into tonight’s 3-3 thriller at Sassuolo with 20 goals from his past 18 games, needing one more strike to become the first player to net 50 times in the Italian, Spanish and English top flights.

But as well as failing to provide a goal or assist for the first time in 19 matches, he also caught Sassuolo’s record-appearance holder Francesco Magnanelli with a studs-up challenge.
Referee Paolo Valeri merely booked Ronaldo, who was perhaps showing his frustration as Sassuolo had turned a 2-0 deficit into a 3-2 lead.
Alex Sandro soon headed Juve’s point-saver to keep the Serie A leaders seven points clear of second-placed Atalanta with five games left as they eye a ninth successive crown.
But Ronaldo had to wait until late on for the main exception to his own quiet night, his twinkling footwork conjuring a fierce shot well saved by home keeper Andrea Consigli.

It was the first time in six Serie A games that the former Real Madrid and Manchester United forward has failed to score in Serie A, having amassed seven in six following the restart.
But 32 goals so far this season, including 28 in the league, is still an incredible feat.
And if Juve do retain the title Ronaldo will become the first player to win two domestic crowns apiece in Italy, Spain and England.
