Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo raised controversy again after his club Juventus match, in which he defeated Genoa by 3 goals for one goal, in the 30th round of the Italian League.
And according to “Football Italia”, Cristiano Ronaldo left the field in anger after the final whistle, throwing his shirt away, near the opponent’s goal. Soon, a ball collector picked him up on the field.
According to the same source, Ronaldo was seen leaving the stadium, shaking his head to express his displeasure, before taking off his shirt and throwing it on the pitch.
But the press correspondent of the old lady club, Romeo Agreste, indicated through a tweet that Ronaldo did not throw the shirt on the ground, but what happened was that the ball boy asked for it, so he took it off and threw it at him.
Precisazione: #CR7 non ha gettato a terra nessuna maglia al termine del match. Un raccattapalle gli ha chiesto la casacca, lui se l’è tolta e gliel’ha lanciata. Poi, che abbia giocato male sbuffando qua e là, è un altro discorso.

Cristiano Ronaldo made headlines earlier in March, when a correct goal for Portugal against Serbia was canceled in the last minutes of the match, prompting the player to throw the captaincy to the ground and leave the stadium, causing widespread controversy, which is the same behavior he repeated today. And he made many Juventus fans denounce his behavior on social media.
Commenting on Cristiano Ronaldo’s behavior, coach Andrea Pirlo said in a statement to the media after the final whistle: “It is natural that he wanted to score a goal, especially when the match was complicated, because he is a champion and he always wants to leave his mark.”
Kolosewski scored goals in the fourth minute, Morata in the 22nd minute, and Makeni in the 77th minute, while Skamaka scored Genoa’s only goal in the 49th minute.
