Benjamin Mendy has been found not guilty of one count of attempted rape and a second charge of rape.
The 28-year-old French footballer was acquitted by a jury of six men and six women at Chester Crown Court following a retrial.
Mendy, who wept as the verdicts were read out, was accused of attempting to rape a woman at his Cheshire home in October 2018 along with a separate count of raping another woman at the same location in October 2020.
The defender was last month released by Manchester City at the end of his contract having been suspended by the Premier League champions at the time of his arrest in August 2021.
