Diego Perotti backs 'world-class' Ronaldo to answer critics

The Portugal captain's strike helped sink Roma in the first leg of their Champions League clash, and the Argentine winger admitted it was very hard to stop him.

EXCLUSIVE
Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo needs only to point to his stellar scoring record to answer those who criticize his quality, according to Diego Perotti.

The Argentine personally suffered the Portugal international's talents in front of goal during February, when he hit the first goal in a 2-0 defeat of Perotti's Roma.

Perotti believes that it is performances such the one Ronaldo put in at the Stadio Olimpico that mark him out as something special.
