All eyes were on Turin, in the face of what promised to be a great night in the Champions League. Andrea Pirlo's Juventus, with Cristiano Ronaldo as its emblem, had to reverse the 1-2 in the first leg against Porto in Portugal. Although Vecchia Signoria managed to beat its rival, the result was not enough to qualify for the next stage of the competition, and criticism was not long in coming.
Fabio Capello, for his part, charged hard against Cristiano Ronaldo after the elimination of Juventus in the Champions League against a lower rival. The Italian coach partly blamed the Portuguese for the premature goodbye of his team, especially for the free-kick scored by Sergio Oliveira in the final stretch of the match. According to the coach, the Juventus star was afraid of hitting the ball and was the cause of the ball ending up inside the goal.

"The first goal in the first game is a gift, and there is a great oversight in the second... Certain goals cannot be conceded. Tonight's penalty is another gift. Demiral is too naive, it is a very serious mistake. But this It is already the most serious thing. Cristiano Ronaldo jumping and turning on the barrier. Whoever is on the barrier cannot be afraid of being hit. It is an unforgivable mistake that has no excuses", assures Capello.
In addition, he defended the figure of Allegri, in the face of all the criticism he received in his day: "The much vilified Allegri reached two Champions League finals, won tournaments... What he did never stood out. It was said that Juve needed a different football. These things must be said. When you try to do something different, you get into things that are not always pleasant and positive", concluded the legend.
