It is the first time Ronaldo, 33, has been seen with his partner since explosive rape claims against him were made public on Saturday.

The former Man U star and his entourage put on a united front as watched his new team wallop BSC Young Boys 3-0 while he served a one-match ban following a red card against Valencia last week.

He was missing from training at Juve's Turin base on Monday as he rested following the ban — while battling claims he raped a model in Las Vegas in 2009.

Kathryn Mayorga, 34, alleges the football superstar, 33, attacked her at a Sin City hotel after meeting her at a nightclub.

He has vehemently denies the explosive allegations which emerged in German magazine Der Spiegel.

Ms Mayorga claims he attacked her in the penthouse suite of the Palms Casino Resort — before apologising and saying he is "usually a gentleman", explosive court papers allege.

Yesterday The Sun Online revealed the first footage showing Ronaldo dancing intimately with then-model at Rain nightclub.

He is alleged to have attacked Ms Mayorga, 25 at the time, just hours later at his penthouse suite.

Ms Mayorga took legal action in 2010 and reportedly received a £287,000 settlement forbidding her from repeating the allegations — a clause she is now seeking to overturn.

Yesterday it emerged that Las Vegas police have re-opened the investigation into the alleged sexual assault.

Portugese ace Ronaldo branded the claims ";fake news" as his lawyers said they would seek "substantial damages" against Der Spiegel.

Lawyers for Ronaldo and Ms Mayorga have not responded to requests for comment from The Sun.
