On Ronaldo
“It’s not just about him. We’ve made other mistakes which have cost us promotion to the next round. I will leave journalists to pass verdicts on Ronaldo.”
“For me, he will always be a real seven. It’s his number on the shirt.”
Juventus crashed out of the Champions League in the 1/8 finals, losing to Porto (1-2, 3-2).
