Andrea Pirlo defended Cristiano Ronaldo's record at Juventus following criticism after the Serie A champions' elimination from the Champions League against Porto.
Ronaldo was at fault for Porto's decisive strike in their away goals victory as Sergio Oliveira's 115th-minute free kick squeezed through the wall after Ronaldo had turned his back and lifted his leg up. TV pundit and former Juve manager Fabio Capello described Ronaldo's role as "the worst," while former president Giovanni Cobolli Gigli suggested the club offload the Portugal captain at the end of the season.
