Cristiano Ronaldo has been slammed by Italian media after Juventus' loss to Atletico Madrid.
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.

How can the Italian medias be so blind? Cristiano did what all he could do. He shifted wings with Mandzukic so that he could find different angles. But the ball did not reach ronaldo so often. But then too he went to collect the balls and tried to convert it to oppurtunities. And these dumb medias are giving more rating to all the others for a reason that they expected more from him.Totally Rubbishh......

of course that on this history they will blame only Ronaldo bcuz they brought him for the CL and then when he'll score an hattrick he will be the best ever it's always the same thing we have to recognize the effort made by ATL bcuz if only that was RM people would say that we always play unfair but whatever CR7 still the G.O.A.T

If Italian news could rate Ronaldo 4.5/10, then all the remaining juventus players and the coach you be 0.5/10. Ronaldo tried all he could yesterday, but all the midfielders played poorly. How do you expect him to score if you can’t pass to him No single pass to Ronaldo and Mansukic thorough out the game. Dybala, Matuidi, bentacur, Sandro, Dcigl, Pjanic, played poorly last night.

How many ball was given to him in the whole match that he didn't make use of? Juventus midfield didn't create a single goal scoring chance in the game.

this is too much....he played deeper in this game than he usually is....he shifted flanks on the left nd right....he shot powerful free-kick, paced two defenders in the 30 yard box, tried his level best of bernardeschis long pass which is very difficult to net but he tried.....may be it's a bad game but Ronaldo played very well.....just tell lacked the finish but Italian media is too much I think

they are just taking a dig at him. remember when he started with Juventus and wasn't able to score and then this very Italian media branded him CR5.5 to indicate his lowest performance. I admit Cristiano was far from his best yesterday night or athletico outclassed them totally,but I refuse to say he was the worst player on the pitch yesterday. he problem came from the midfielders and a sloppy defence. after a prolific freekick attempt yesterday and all others, Ronaldo was not the worst Juventus player on the pitch yesterday
