Once again, dressing room images of Cristiano Ronaldo have gone viral. In the docuseries Tutto o niente: Juventus by Amazon Prime can be seen how Ronaldo burst into tears after the elimination in last Champions League season against FC Porto. The duel with the Portuguese on March 9 turned out to be an emotional roller coaster for the 36-year-old attacker, who also had a fierce discussion with teammate Juan Cuadrado at halftime.

Last season, Juventus had to correct a 2-1 defeat from the first game with FC Porto in the eighth final of the Champions League at home. In the nineteenth minute of play, however, things went wrong for la Vecchia Signora, who, at the hands of Sergio Oliveira, faced a 0-1 deficit halfway through. In the second company, Juventus managed to turn the game around with a double by Federico Chiesa. With that, an extension was forced, but in the end things still went wrong for the team from Turin. Although they won 3-2 after extra time, FC Porto continued to win on the basis of away goals.

The released dressing room images show how Ronaldo remains inconsolable in the dressing room. The goal-getter was unable to leave his mark on the match and, as it turned out, played his last Champions League game in the Juventus shirt. Caregivers are still trying to comfort Ronaldo, but that seems to have no effect. Sobbing, the Portuguese throws off his clothes.

Ronaldo also played a striking role in the half-time of the match on the billion-dollar ball. At a 0-1 halftime score, he spoke condemningly to the dressing room. Almost the entire dressing room remains silent during the Portuguese’s outburst of rage, except for Cuadrado. Ronaldo got into a heated argument with the latter. “We have to do more, che merda! We’re not hitting a marble,” Ronaldo shouted. “We always play badly!” Almost everyone remains silent, except Cuadrado. “Calm down, Cris. You should be an example for us,” said the Colombian. Ronaldo: “I’m also referring to myself, huh! We play crap! The truth must be said. It’s a Champions League game, we have to show character!”
