Champions League: Cristiano Ronaldo caught on camera blaming Juventus midfielders during Lyon defeat

Footage has emerged of Cristiano Ronaldo appearing to blame Juventus’ midfield during the side’s 1-0 defeat away to Lyon in the Champions League.

Ronaldo, 35, has scored 25 goals in 31 games for Juve in all competitions this season but the iconic forward cut a frustrated figure up front at the Groupama Stadium last Wednesday.

Lucas Tousart gave Lyon a one-goal advantage with a close-range volley in the 31st minute and Ronaldo will no doubt be hoping for more help from his midfielders when the sides meet again for their last-16 second leg in Turin.

The Serie A giants:

The Serie A giants are yet to register a single shot on target in the tie and the Portugal international was caught criticising his team-mates in the tunnel at half-time.

‘We are left alone out there, the midfielders are giving us no support,’ Ronaldo told fellow Juve attacker Paulo Dybala. Dybala replied: ‘Nobody is getting the ball.’ ‘I know, not even the second balls, nothing,’ an exasperated Ronaldo responded.
Maurizio Sarri felt Juventus were ‘unlucky’ to concede while Matthijs De Ligt was off the field but criticised his players for their lacklustre performance.

‘We lacked determination and aggression when attacking, and for 15 minutes lacked it defensively too,’ the Juventus head coach said. ‘We were unlucky to concede when [Matthijs] De Ligt was off injured. The second half was better, but frankly it’s not enough for a Champions League match.

‘I don’t know why I cannot get the players to understand the importance of moving the ball quickly. ‘This is fundamental, we’ll keep working on it and sooner or later this concept will get into their heads. ‘I continued to tell them, and there were many who were doing it, moving the ball too slowly and therefore getting into the wrong positions.’
