Zidane Doing Damage Control.

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane apparently took off his holiday to call Cristiano Ronaldo who has vowed to leave Real Madrid due to his tax scandal.

Ronaldo is currently on international duty with Portugal, in the Confederarions Cup in Russia. The worlds most expensive player is reportedly furious over a tax probe into the off shore accounts dealing with his image rights.

“I am leaving Real Madrid”, Marca claim Ronaldo told his Portuguese colleagues. “I have made a decision. There is no turning back”, the daily sports paper reported.

The 32 year old is the latest star to come under fire for tax evasion after Lionel Messi suffered the same fate.
