Fame greatly affects football stars, especially when they reach the top at a young age. Some are pushed into the spotlight by scandals, affecting their careers as football players.
Relationships with women are considered the biggest trap facing stars, as they become targets for beautiful women due to their fame and the large sums of money they earn from major clubs and brands.
Just as relationships with women have led to the downfall of several players and ruined their careers, there are players who have survived the crisis of relationships with women and continued their careers successfully. We review the most prominent of them:
Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo
Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, captain of the Saudi Al-Nassr club, faced a women’s crisis when American Kathryn Mayoral accused him of raping her in 2009. Despite a settlement between them in 2010, the case was reopened in 2018.
However, the Portuguese star defended himself and was acquitted of the charge, continuing his career at the top.
Moroccan Achraf Hakimi
Moroccan star Achraf Hakimi, a Paris Saint-Germain player, recently faced a crisis when a woman accused him of attempting to rape her at his home in 2023.
Despite the investigation, the Moroccan national team captain has continued to deny all the allegations, and they have not affected his playing career.
Frenchman Kylian Mbappé
French star Kylian Mbappé, Real Madrid striker, has been accused of raping a girl in the Swedish capital while he was staying with friends in October 2024.
