Signed by the Juventus, to, among other things, take the Italian team to the top of the Champions League, Cristiano Ronaldo it has failed again in its endeavor for the third consecutive season. In fact, it has not yet been able to reach the quarterfinals of the competition. On one occasion he fell in that round (Ajax) and in two he has done it in eighths (Lyon Y Port). Against the Portuguese, it has been added that for the first time in 15 years he has not scored in a European tie.
But if there has been something that has been reproached especially in the duel against the Portuguese, it has not only been his lack of success in front of goal, but his attitude in the foul that caused that Sergio Oliveira in the 115th minute of extra time, he scored the goal that would ultimately decide the pass of the Portuguese. CR7 he jumped and turned for fear of taking a ball and the ball passed through the gap that theoretically the striker should have covered.
One of the most critical of the action was Fabio Capello. “The first goal in the first game is a gift and there is a great oversight in the second. Certain goals cannot be conceded. Tonight's penalty is another gift. Demiral is too naive, it is a very serious mistake. But this is already the worst. Cristiano Ronaldo jumping and spinning on the barrier. Whoever is on the barrier cannot be afraid of being hit. It is an unforgivable mistake that has no excuses, “he said.
Something softer was Alessandro del Piero, although he did not stop criticizing the Portuguese. “Cristiano has responsibilities, of course. He didn't have many chances, but he wasted that header that we used to always take advantage of. But it can't just be his fault, either. Juve played more than an hour eleven against ten ”,
Without personalizing, also the Juventus coach, Andrea Pirlo highlighted the play of the foul. “We chose the ones who form the barrier, it had never happened that they turned around. It was a mistake and when you make mistakes in the Champions League, you pay for them ”, he asserted.
