  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Now, Cedric, who played alongside Ronaldo on 25 occasions for Portugal, has revealed he was advised by the five-time Ballon d'Or winner to stay away from his phone when bedtime comes.

• WHAT CEDRIC SAID

  Cedric told : "He stops using his cell phone at certain times. He says it affects his sleep, so he leaves it outside the bedroom. There was a time when he said to me, 'Cedric, you can't use 5G because it can affect your sleep.' That was when 5G came along. I don't know if he still does it, but he blocked the signal to sleep x hours."

  Ronaldo may not have been duped by a conspiracy theory, but misinformation was particularly rife during the peak of the coronavirus pandemic when it was falsely claimed that 5G makes the human immune system weaker and that the virus can be transmitted through 5G networks.
