I didn't party before Inter match: Ronaldinho

Ronaldinho has said he did not have a party before Milan's match against Inter, claiming the allegations are an invention.

Reports alleged Milan lost the game 2-0 because he had thrown a party for his friends just days before kick off - a story that has been met with opposition.

"I was a guest at a hotel, but it's not true that I organised a party, even less true are the details that were reported," he told his official website.

"I have worked very hard in these few months and I think it's not right that these old images are used to explain a negative result or invent a story on me.

"I have dedicated myself to the Milan project and I work so I can give the best of me."
