Portugal and Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo pads his underwear for modelling shoots, according to Italian model and reality star Elisa De Panicis Agnelli, who was romantically linked to the soccer star last year. De Panicis made the sensational claim during a recent television appearance.

“Ronaldo uses filling to make his penis look bigger,” the model told Chilean TV show “Doble Tentacion” recently, per the New York Post. The 29-year-0ld reportedly met Rondo while vacationing in Ibiza a few years ago. Rondo owns his own underwear line titled 'CR7 Cristiano Ronaldo'.

“I got his number and I sent him a message. We had fun and we had a good friendship, but not anything special," De Panicis added while explaining the nature of her relationship with Ronadlo.

Ronaldo, widely regarded as one of the top-3 players of the last two decades, is currently dating 22-year-old model Georgina Rodriguez after ending a five-year relationship with long time girlfriend Irina Shayk.

Cristiano Ronaldo eyeing first La Liga crown since 2012

Last Sunday, Ronaldo was upstaged by arch nemesis Lionel Messi, who scored his career 500th goal to lead Barcelona to a 3-2 victory in injury time against a 10-man Real Madrid outfit in the "El Calssico". It was a much-needed win for Barcelona after their disappointing quarter-final loss to Juventus in the UEFA Champions League. Ronaldo and Real Madrid, however, are through to the semi-finals against Athletic Madrid, the team they defeated in last year's memorable Champions League final.

Barcelona and Real Madrid are now tied with 75 points each atop the La Liga table. While Barcelona owns a head-to-head tie-breaker, Madrid has six games left in the season -- one more than Barcelona. Zinedine Zidane, coach of Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid, realises that the team faces a tough task to win the La Liga rophy for the first time since 2012.

“We can’t be happy. When you don’t put the game away, things like this can happen. We are disappointed because we didn’t deserve to lose.” It was another outstanding performance by Messi, who played part of the game with a bloodied mouth after colliding with Madrid left back Marcelo’s elbow," Zidane recently told reporters. Cristiano Ronaldo led Portugal to its first-ever UEFA Euro championship last year.
