Cecilia Di Luca: There was no aggression from my husband Atletico Madrid Ortega's wife vouched for him

The wife of Oscar 'El Profe' Ortega has insisted that she never wanted to press charges against her husband as there was no animosity between them.

On Tuesday morning, the Atletico Madrid fitness coach appeared before court on a gender violence offence, but was released without charge.

His other half, Cecilia Di Luca, has released a statement through the EFE agency to insist that there is no issue with Ortega.

"I want to clarify to everyone that I never denounced my husband because there has been no aggression," she stated.

"A third person who was unaware of the situation decided to inform the Guardia Civil without my consent.

"This morning, I declared before the judge that we have been married for 25 years and I have never been physically assaulted.

"My husband is known for his work and I want to emphasise that he's an irreproachable person.

"Obviously there was a misunderstanding and with this statement I just want to clarify what happened and finally close this matter."
