The away team represented total dominance in first place and led 1-0 after scoring Paulo Dybala. The management kept the match out.

Ronaldo had the opportunity to score in the Champions League game, the return of Old Trafford. The least when he sent the ball after 53 minutes, but David de Gea saved. Øyvind Alsaker, TV 2 commentator, reacts to the local team during the defense match:

"Is it possible that Cristiano Ronaldo, with his past at Old Trafford, his reputation and his history, could cross ten meters in all directions up to the nearest Manchester United player from 16 meters?

The great speech

In advance, Manchester United were against the game of Juventus Football Europe. Ronaldo is 33, but nothing indicates that the sporting maturity has begun.

At the club's last press conference before the clash, he met with coach Massimiliano Allegri. The closing around Ronaldo even put Jose Mourinho, his manager, in the shade. Not only because of his status in the world of football, but also because an old model has accused him of rape.

The raid apparently took place in a hotel room in Los Angeles in 2009. But last night, Ronaldo made it clear that he had managed to focus on football.

Beautiful attack

Juventus was favorite and the audience could understand why. Initially, Torino's guests had the ball in 67% of the cases.

The score of 1-0 arrived after 17 minutes. It was a nice attack that Ronaldo rolled on the right side. The ball finished with Paulo Dybala, who scored a goal.

At this point, the game is stopped and returned. Unfortunately for United, the team never got close. Juventus won deserved.

"I'm disappointed, especially in the first place," said Ryan Giggs, TV 2 expert and former United player.

"My players have given everything and we deserve a point, but Juventus is an expert in strength and solidity," said United manager José Mourinho, who particularly attracts Giorgio Chiellini.

"We faced one of the biggest candidates to win the Champions League," he told the press conference.
