Giorgio Chiellini, Juventus’ historic defender, said it bluntly in an interview with the BBC: Cristiano Ronaldo ruined his party several times.
Before arriving at Juventus, for the Italian it was a nightmare: “Before coming, he scored against us many times. He shattered my dreams in Cardiff, Turin and Madrid”, Chiellini said.
Cardiff 2017, Turin and Madrid were scenes of pain. There, wearing the Real Madrid shirt, Cristiano was the executioner who repeatedly snatched away the trophy Juventus pursued so relentlessly.
But fate flipped the script: when Cristiano arrived in Turin in 2018, everything changed. Chiellini honestly acknowledged that before, the Champions League was merely a dream for the Bianconeri; with CR7 on board, it became a real objective.
