Before the clash between Juventus and Inter Milan (2-0) on Sunday, Cristiano Ronaldo seemed to be in a good mood. Arriving at the stadium, the Portuguese international acted as if supporters were waiting for him at the exit of the bus to greet him and clapped the hands of these imaginary spectators. Indeed, the meeting of the 28th day of Serie A took place behind closed doors because of the coronavirus epidemic. Proud of his joke, the Turin striker did it again a few minutes later. When he entered the field for the warm-up, he greeted the stands of the completely empty Juventus Stadium.
