TIL Desk Sports/ Star striker Cristiano Ronaldo will be escaping both fine and ban for his angered reaction when he was substituted by coach Maurizio Sarri during Juventus” 1-0 Serie A win over AC Milan. On Sunday, Sarri hauled off Ronaldo after just 55 minutes of their Serie A showdown at the Allianz Arena. The Portugal international was replaced by Paulo Dybala with the Italian champions in search of a goal. Dybala, however, proved Sarri right as he scored the goal in the 77th minute.
Reportedly, Ronaldo didn”t take it well and stormed down the tunnel and even left the stadium three minutes before the match finished. However, Juventus have now confirmed that they will take no action against Ronaldo for his response to being pulled by Sarri. Sarri highlighted that Ronaldo put his hand up to play despite continuing to struggle with a knee injury.
“He
should be thanked because he made himself available despite not being in
optimal conditions,” the former Chelsea boss stated in his post-match
press briefing. “In the last month he has had this discomfort in his knee
and this is a little problem for him.” Ronaldo had also taken to social
media to break his silence, with a simple picture on Instagram captioned:
“Difficult game, important victory.”
