'Cristiano finished? Don't make me laugh!' - Juventus chief scoffs at Ronaldo claims

The club's sporting director Fabio Paratici said that the Portugal star still has plenty to give after he missed out on the Ballon d'Or

Cristiano Ronaldo is "coming back stronger than before", according to Juventus sporting director Fabio Paratici, who scoffed at suggestions the veteran forward is "finished" after missing out on the Ballon d'Or.

Ronaldo opted not to attend the Ballon d'Or ceremony in Paris, where Lionel Messi collected the top prize for the sixth time, choosing instead to appear at the Gran Gala del Calcio in Milan, where the Juve star picked up awards for his achievements in Serie A.
