For haters who think Cristiano Ronaldo gave Zidane a career, it should probably be added that the opposite is at least as valid in the Champions League.

For the third year in a row since leaving Real Madrid for Juventus Turin, CR7 took the door far too early in the competition, this time against Porto (3-2 after extra time, 1-2 in the first leg ). 

"The players were afraid of the ball"

The Portuguese did not escape fierce criticism on Tuesday night, less for not having known how to weigh offensively than for his attitude on the goal of the qualification of Porto, while we would be heading towards the penalty shootout.

Nelson Oliveira's free-kick wasn't particularly well shot, but it went over the supporting leg of Ronaldo, who made two mistakes in one: jumping and looking towards his goal rather than the ball, like Rabiot. to his right, moreover.

Fabio Capello, former coach of Juve or Real and now a consultant for Sky Italia, did not hesitate to knock him out: “It is an unforgivable mistake.

In my time, we chose the players that we put in the wall because they did not have to have little of the ball.

The Juve players were scared, they jumped to avoid it while turning their backs on the ball, it's unforgivable ”.

Andrea Pirlo, the Bianconeri coach, could not afford such an exit, but he thought no less after the match: “The players did not understand the importance of this shot, perhaps because that he was far away, and they turned.

When you make this mistake in the round of 16, you pay for it and you don't go to the quarterfinals ”.
