Real Madrid drop major hint about Cristiano Ronaldo leaving
Spanish giants Real Madrid, who created history on Saturday after claiming the Champions League title for the 13th time, have introduced their new home and away kits without featuring talisman Cristiano Ronaldo.
Most notably, Gareth Bale starred in the kit launch alongside Marcelo, Karim Benzema, Toni Kroos and defender Nacho Fernandez, as they donned the sleek home and away shirts on Twitter on Tuesday.
Bale's appearance comes as a surprise after the Welshman distanced himself from the club after scoring a match-winning brace against Liverpool in Kiev on Saturday.

However, the most obvious absentee was Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo who, like Bale, cast doubt over his future at the Bernabeu next season.

The record scorer of the Champions League dropped a huge hint after Saturday’s victory that his future could be away from Madrid, saying, "In the coming days there will be answer about my future. It has been very nice playing for Real Madrid."
"In the next few days I will give an answer. Now we have to enjoy the moment. The future of any player is not important. We have made history."
That was not it, as the 33-year-old didn't even feature on the club's shop alongside his Real Madrid teammates.
His absence from the kit launch will add fuel to the fire when it concerns his next move, with Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United keeping tabs on the striker.
