DBasia.news – During his period with Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo often scored the decisive goal in the crucial matches. Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini recalled it really well when Ronaldo was the threat for his team.
Juventus signed Ronaldo from Real Madrid worth 105 million euro this season. The Portuguese player got signed for four seasons and has 30 million euro annual salary.
With his arrival, Juventus hope they could win the Champions League title. The Portuguese player has many experiences in that prestigious competition. In total, he collected four Champions League titles.
However, Chiellini admits that he was upset with Ronaldo. The 33-year-old player often destroyed Juventus’ step in the Champions League.
Cristiano Ronaldo was the mastermind when Real Madrid defeated Juventus 4-1 in the final round of Champions League at Cardiff in 2017. Last season, Ronaldo’s goal in the injury time also buried Juventus hope to qualify for the next round.
“Cristiano scored many, many, many times against us and he broke my dreams many times – in Cardiff, in Madrid, in Turin,” Chiellini told Daily Star.
Next, Juventus would play against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League knockout stage. Chiellini believes Bianconeri could handle Atletico with Ronaldo’s presence.
“So far, the Champions League was just a dream, now it’s a goal because Cristiano is the best player in the world, and we need that to go the last step,” Chiellini revealed.
