Cristiano Ronaldo has been dropped as the face of EA Sports’ FIFA 19 game. The company revealed a new front cover on their Twitter page earlier this month which does not feature the Juventus striker.
Instead, Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar and Ronaldo’s team-mate Paulo Dybala share the spotlight.
Ronaldo was the focus of a rape allegation in October and only last month he accepted a £16.6m fine and a 23-month suspended prison sentence for tax evasion during his time at Real Madrid in Spain. EA Sports had already adressed the sexual assault claims against Ronaldo back in October. They said they were ‘closely monitoring’ the situation after a claim of rape against the Portugal international from a trip to Las Vegas in 2009 surfaced.
