Ronaldo 'worst player on the pitch': Italian and Spanish paper react to Atletico Madrid-Juventus

Ronaldo had a nightmare as Juventus went down 2-0 to Atletico to leave their Champions League hopes to hang in the balance. Popular Spanish Journalist and close friend of Cristiano Ronaldo, Edu Aguirre has revealed the secret reaction of the Portuguese star to Juventus’ defeat. "We spoke after the game and Cristiano told me that he is very happy to be at Juventus,” said Aguirre. His idea has not changed. The five gesture? It is just a piece of truth. He's won more Champions League in 10 years than Atletico Madrid in 116 years of history". Ronaldo was named the 'worst player on the pitch' by La Gazzetta dello Sport. The Italian paper rates CR7 with low 4.5 out of 10 grade. "It's too easy to complain with De Sciglio or Bentancur. Juve signed Ronaldo to make the difference in these games. Against Atletico, he seemed just like any other player". Other papers have given Ronaldo higher rates although the judgment of the Portuguese star are not positive anywhere on Italian media. "He did what he could", writes Tuttosport. "Juve were playing in the fog and were unable to reach him". His rating on the Turin-based paper is 5.5/10. As per Il Corriere dello Sport, Ronaldo 'wasn't the real problem of Juventus at the Wanda Metropolitano even if he clearly underperformed". His rating is 5 out of 10.
