Juventus captain, Giorgio Chiellini has said that fellow teammate, Cristiano Ronaldo broke his “dreams many times – in Cardiff, Madrid and Turin”.
Ronaldo led Real Madrid during his time at the Santiago
Bernabeu to defeat Juventus on several occasions in the Champions League
encounter.
The 33-year-old scored twice for Real Madrid against Juventus in the Champions League final in 2017.
He
also scored three goals in two games against Max Allegri’s side last
season. Chiellini admitted that the Portuguese captain had left him
heartbroken over the years.
“Cristiano scored many, many, many
times against us and he broke my dreams many times – in Cardiff, in
Madrid, in Turin,”Chiellini was quoted by Express UK as saying.
“Before, the Champions League was a dream.
“Now it is a target because Cristiano is the best player in the world and we need him to make the last step.
“It’s the personality of Cristiano.
“He
has fantastic skills in the field but out of the field, his attitude –
how he works, how he prepares for the match, how he lives every day of
his life – can help us. The team has changed.”
