'Ronaldo's afraid of being hit in the face!' - Juventus star criticised by Amoruso for putting 'image' ahead of responsibilities

Former Juventus striker Nicola Amoruso says Cristiano Ronaldo is too concerned about his image and should not have been in the wall for the free-kick that led to the club's Champions League demise.

The Portuguese star was one of several Juventus players stationed in the wall for what ended up being a goal from Porto's Sergio Oliveira, who rocketed a shot between Ronaldo's legs to send his side into the Champions League quarter-finals.

In the hours since that goal, Juventus have come under fire for their poor wall, with Ronaldo in particular earning criticism from Fabio Capello after failing to get in the way of the shot.
