Cristiano Ronaldo Is A Human Being, Criticism Is Crazy – Allegri
Massimiliano Allegri was in charge of Juventus when Cristiano Ronaldo arrived in Turin and is struggling to see why anyone would want to criticise an all-time great who is “programmed to win”.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has had questions asked on the back of a disappointing last-16 exit from the Champions League in 2020-21.
Ronaldo was far from his best across two legs against Porto, but Allegri is eager to point out that the 36-year-old is no miracle worker and remains “human” despite the most remarkable of sporting CVs suggesting otherwise.
Allegri, who was Juve boss when Ronaldo swapped Real Madrid for Serie A during the summer of 2018, told Sky Sport Italia:
“Ronaldo is human too and can make mistakes, but there are few who can shake off a defender and run at the goal like him.

“Cristiano’s strength is that he has this mind that is programmed to win. He won five Ballon d’Or trophies, the Champions League, so many titles, yet he is there giving himself new motivation every single day.”
