In the wake of Juve’s disappointing Champions League elimination at the hands of Porto, Cristiano Ronaldo has been the target of some harsh criticism.
The Portuguese star had a poor performance in general, and was blamed for his part in Porto’s second goal, when he turned his back to Oliveira’s freekick while standing in the wall.
However, his former Real Madrid teammate Sergio Ramos believes that the five time Ballon d’Or winner is strong enough to handle all the negativity directed towards him at the moment.

Sergio Ramos, one of the most influential players over the last decade or so and our sometimes arch-enemy, knows his football and explains himself fully. “any team can beat you in the Champions.” We switched off for a few seconds and our quest ended as a result. Porto went into that game as warriors and they emerged in the end as victors. We will be back, strengthened (and hopefully less naive) next year.
