Ofcours benched ronaldo bologna is the only team he knew he could win with out cr7
Ronaldo needs better team mates to carry him, at this point it’s clearly evident that the “player of the century” needs to be carried. I think his next “challenge” should be to win the Bundesliga with Bayern and do the impossible.
MLS IN THE STATES BEST THING FOR RONALDO
Ronaldo haters dont think RATIONALLY.
They are really trying to use a ONE GAME SAMPLE SIZE vs the lowly Bologna as evidence that Juve don't need Ronaldo while IGNORING the the defeat to Atalanta just 3 weeks ago (without Ronaldo) and the early season DRUBBING they got against Barcelona (without Ronaldo). Funny enough, when Ronaldo played vs Atalanta, they won. When Ronaldo played vs Barcelona, they won. See a pattern?
Ronaldo has as many goals as Messi THIS season, with is team basically level with Barcelona on points, both not making top 2 and yet Ronaldo is the problem but Messi is the "saviour?" Heck, he BEAT Messi head to head this season when they played each other and Messi's team has spent over 250+ Million to support Messi (Pjanic, Dembele, Griezmann, De Jong etc), while Ronaldo got Mckinnie, Rabiot, Ramsey, and Bentacur – none of whom would start on any of top 6 teams in the Premier League, certainly not on Bayern or Dortmund, and certainly not on any of La liga's top 4 teams.
And they played good and won big. This shows how Juventus don't need Ronaldo. Without him they are stronger.
All or nothing snyder cut
The man is 36 years old and still one of the best strikers out there what were Juventus thinking when they signed him from real? That he is gonna win ucl trophy. You have to accept the fact that he is at Twilight part of his career..
Pirlo knew once ronaldo is given the role of assistant manager,victory is inevitavle.He probably thought of this tactics watching euro.
Ronaldo fans on twitter celebrating that Juve are in UCL next year 😂 Ignoring the fact that their goat was DROPPED for the biggest game of the season. Props to Pirlo for doing the right thing 👏
Bruh 0:47s
Being Benched is no problem for me, because I have seen him trying to be a coach when Portugal crashed France
🤣🤣🤣espn is happy that cr7 is benched.too much hate towards cr7 from this channel .messi fan boys except Alessandro Del Piero he his being honest.
It had to be the manager / coach's decision of cos you dumb, what a joke discussion to begin with 🤣🤣🤣
Ronaldo was taking a breather . . .
I still remember where gab really said juve can win the serie A without dybala but can with ronaldo 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He didn't started being there were facing a weak team and has Euro for Portugal
In post match interview Pirlo said… Cristiano was feeling tired so he decided to start from bench…and let morata start who is fully fit
He has missed most big chances in any of europe's top 5 league and yet you are asking why he isnt starting?
Forza Juve ⚫⚪⚫⚪
Cr7 🐐🐐🐐
Because Penny Penaldooo is finished
Without cr7, juve was fighting for ucl (serie a was guaranteed)
With cr7: europa league welcomes juve
They take cr7 out, juve goes back to ucl.
Ronaldo is the top scorer in serie a and won two trophies this season don’t let that go under the radar
Rather than telling how great it was that AC milan are back on champions League they discuss about ronaldo!
AT LEAST HE SOULD HAVE BEEN SUBBED .. TERRIBLE DECISION EVEN IF JUVE WON , THEY DELIBERATELY SNACHED A RECORD FROM HIM TO BECOME ONE OF 3 MEN IN HISTORY TO SCORE 30 OR 30+ GOALS TWICE. THEY WOULD ALSO HAVE GOT AN EXTRA 5 MIL FOR THIS.. SURELY RON COULD HAVE BEEN SUBBED , HE WAS PRACTICING , SO NO QUESTION OF ANY INJURY…
Cr7 is the LEGEND 💕💕💕💕💕 biased reporter
He is going to leave.
Ronaldo and Messi are cup winners. Even in a mediocre season they still match each other! 😅
Wins with out Ronaldo lol best performance of the season
Ronaldo is an unbearable burden for a team like Juve, he is really a great player, but he is 36….. and Juventus must build a young team for the future.
Time to say goodbye, after all the team performed really well vs bologna……
Juventus decisive match wasn't against this Bologna. Even the third goalkeeping was playing
Shut up
That is a wrap Ronaldo is leaving
Because Pirlo is a madman, he needs to be fired
Come.back to United
My ear's tingling from that momentary audio displacement.
Sky sports reported that Ronaldo said he was tired
He is out next season it's clear
U talk too much look at what happened in the match and u will know why
Cristiano Ronaldo benched as the new Cappocanonieri and Juventus was fluid passing. It seems like a boycott to me.
I hope CR7 leaves Juventus and let them sink to serie B.
Pirlo is a Coward, rubbish manager awful tactics and now Disrespecting One of the best and Your top goalscorer what literally do you want from Ronaldo
Resting for the Euros.
