Portugal and Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo is at the center of a sordid battle between sorcerers, with one trying to ruin him on behalf of a spurned lover and another to save him, according to reports in Portuguese newspapers.
“A rich foreign woman who was betrayed” has paid a Spaniard nicknamed Pepe to ensure Ronaldo gets his just deserts, Correio da Manha daily said.
Ronaldo, who is often photographed with a beautiful young woman on his arm, is currently carrying an ankle injury, and the sorcerer Pepe is claiming credit for it.
Pepe was pictured holding a black wax doll and a photo of the Real Madrid forward with his name scrawled across it.
The sorcerer has refused to identify the scorned woman he claims has already paid him 15,000 euros, Correio da Manha said.
“She paid me to end Cristiano Ronaldo’s career and I’m doing that,” Pepe was quoted as saying.
“It’s a job, I have nothing against him personally, but I’ll see it through,” he added.
The daily 24 Horas, which carried the same story, said another “fetisher” called Fernando Nogueira, known as the “sorcerer Fafe” was contacted by “someone very close” to Ronaldo “to counter the black magic of this so-called Spanish sorcerer.”
Fafe, while casting doubt on the powers of his rival, told the paper he had “burnt candles next to a photo of Ronaldo to put an end to what is being done, if it is true.”

葡萄牙報紙報導，葡萄牙國家隊暨西班牙皇家馬德里隊球星克里斯提諾．羅納度，正夾在兩名巫師的齷齪角力中，其中一人受雇於被他甩掉的前女友，試圖要毀掉他，另一人則要救他。
葡萄牙日報《早晨郵報》報導，「遭小羅納度背叛的一名外籍富家女」，僱用了一名綽號「沛佩」的西班牙巫師，要讓他受到應有的懲罰。
經常被拍到摟著年輕美女的小羅納度目前腳踝受傷，巫師沛佩宣稱這是他的巫術所致。
沛佩被拍到手拿一個黑色的蠟像娃娃和一張小羅納度的照片，照片上潦草地寫著這名皇馬隊前鋒的名字。
《早晨郵報》報導，這名巫師拒絕透露他雇主的姓名，他表示已經收到一萬五千歐元的委託費。
報導中引述沛佩的話說：「她付錢請我終結小羅納度的足球生涯，而我正著手進行。」
他補充說：「這是我的工作，我個人對他毫無敵意，但我會完成這項工作。」
也報導同一則新聞的《二十四小時報》指出，小羅納度的「密友」請了一名本名費南度．諾蓋亞、綽號「法菲巫師」的「魔法師」，來「對抗那位聲稱是西班牙巫師的妖術」。
法菲對他對手的法術抱持懷疑態度，他接受該報採訪時表示，他已「在一張小羅納度的照片旁放了點燃的蠟燭，藉此幫他解除咒語，如果真有此事的話」。
小羅納度表示，他希望腳踝的傷勢儘快復原。（法新社╱翻譯：袁星塵)
