Cristiano Ronaldo is no longer used to the white seasons. Again scorer this weekend against Verona, the Portuguese, who registered his 20th accomplishment in Series A, did not prevent Juventus to suffer their third defeat in the league (1-2) and lose their status as leader of Serie A in favor of Inter Milan, winner of the derby della Madonnina (4-2).
If the fivefold Ballon d'Or has returned in sparkling form since December, the Old Lady paradoxically remains on two defeats in the last three games. According to information from the Madrid daily Marca , Cristiano Ronaldo is annoyed with the latest results from Juve and hopes to regain form before traveling to San Siro on Thursday in the Italian Cup.

Beyond the results, it is above all the level of play that worries bianconeri supporters. "If we want Juventus to win matches, we cannot continue to make mistakes caused by a superficial attitude (…) We have to work harder, get dirty when we need to and not rest on our laurels" , said the Turin technician after the defeat in Verona.
In doubt, Juventus must therefore reassure themselves against AC Milan in the first leg of the Italian Cup semi-final before the double confrontation against Olympique Lyonnais in the knockout stages of the Champions League. A trophy very popular with Cristiano Ronaldo, eager to offer a third European coronation to the Piedmontese club and to claim a sixth personal title.
