That's a disgrace. The Guardian is the most "holier-than-thou" journal everJesus
Barca/Messi fan or Atletico fan?Here's how Guardian covered his goal.. The madness keeps on rollin'
Guess he failed his first real test.Ronaldo's first real test. Let's see if he can do it without Carrick/Scholes and Kroos/Modric carrying him.
Right, should have scored a hattrick today again. What a loser.Guess he failed his first real test.
He’s just trolling.Right, should have scored a hattrick today again. What a loser.
I agree that he's done his job but Chiellini was the only big absence they had. Mandzukic hasn't scored since December and Costa has one goal and zero assists all season.He did his job, wasn't enough this time around. In Madrid the penalties get called and everything changes. Disappointing to go out like this, but 3 more years to go to attempt to get the record 6th CL title. Hopefully Juve don't have half their team out injured next time and actually buy some midfielders that aren't Aaron Ramsey or Emre Can.
Time for the all the bitterness that's built up throughout the years to come out in celebration now
Mandzukic is good even without scoring. Costa has been injured pretty much all season but he completely destroyed Ajax when he came on in the first leg and would have most likely started tonight if he was fit. You're right that Chiellini was the big miss by a mile though, it's like Liverpool without Van Dijk or Madrid without Ramos, more than losing a great centreback they lose leadership, mentality and aggressiveness.I agree that he's done his job but Chiellini was the only big absence they had.

Ajax also had both of their staring fullbacks out for the second leg
He set up more chances than any other Juventus player in this tie too and was on the few Juve players who could actually keep the ball under pressure. Even his hold up play and playing with his back to goal was excellent tonight which wasn't really the case in the first leg.Ronaldo cannot really be blamed for this; at least not in terms of goal-scoring influence. There is an argument to be made for a greater influence in the game in terms of general play. Ronaldo isn't as dominant outside the 18 yard box than he used to be. In the buildup he plays very simple five yard passes and goes for the easy option almost 95% of the time. He doesn't have much influence in terms of forcing the play with passing and dribbles, however, he's still very much the same forward in the box he's always been. His instincts haven't deserted him, as evidenced by the amount of headed goals he's scored.
Thats harsh, he still has at least next year to try again.100m for Ronaldo to not win CL or even the Cup, only the league. Terrible from Juve.
Luckily they bought him for more than one year.100m for Ronaldo to not win CL or even the Cup, only the league. Terrible from Juve.

Wont happen of course unless Juventus make 2 or 3 world class signings to support him though. CR7 alone wont ever get this Juventus team close to CL glory.
It's not on Ronaldo. It's on Juve. They're wasting him with their terrible set up.Luckily they bought him for more than one year.
His potential ability on FM 18 is 186. Obviously something is not right. I judge players by their FM stats. 5 league goals for a forward in the top top team of serie A is mind boggingly low.What’s happened to Dybala? 5 league goals all season is pathetic for a Juventus forward in serie A.
His playing like Mata. Another natural gifted number 10 struggling to find a position?
All you need to do is watch Juve play. Dybala would be great under an attacking manager with a more cohesive team. Juve have a shite mf and al;l they do is cross into the box for Ronaldo to head.His potential ability on FM 18 is 186. Obviously something is not right.

Unfortunately I don't really watch many games apart from United. I should try to more, just in general lack the tv channels to follow football. I'm sure Dybala would a monster if he played to his potential and was in the right system. As you say, he could become a beast under Pep.All you need to do is watch Juve play.

Dybala under Pep would be a monster.
I saw in another site his heatmap from the last three seasons and every year he is playing more and more deep. They should use him close to the box as a second striker.What’s happened to Dybala? 5 league goals all season is pathetic for a Juventus forward in serie A.

Holy shit! You'd have thought he'd at least've had one touch.So, I'm just going to leave Ronaldo's game highlights vs Ajax here:
Well the truth is that Juve did buy him to try and win the UCL, because they’ve been very very close without Ronaldo, a couple times over the last 3 years or so.PSG bought Mbappe and Neymar for nearly 400€ million (Neymar in his prime), surely not to win the French League. And they got elimanted from a United B-/C-Team. You can't play to win the CL.
Just watch the first 11 from Juve today:
Wojciech, Alex Sandro (on his best), Pjanic and Ronaldo are good enough to win the CL. Dybala maybe.
Chiellini is carrying the Juve defense year for year. No surprise Bonucci was that bad for Milan.
Offer Juve their money back and it may just be possible.Now is the time to buy him...even if it's only for a year or so.
Offer Juve their money back and it may just be possible.
straight swap for Pogba?Offer Juve their money back and it may just be possible.
In terms of value that’d be a bad deal for United, if United were funded by oil money and money is no concern, I’d love to see it.straight swap for Pogba?
