Cristiano Ronaldo returned to be protagonist in a new day of Champions League. Juventus faced Atlético de Madrid for the fifth date of the group stage and the Portuguese did not go unnoticed at Allianz Stadium.

This time it was not because he had an outstanding performance, nor because he gave the victory to his team (which Paulo Dybala was responsible for closing the first half to put the 1-0), but for an episode that fortunately did not happen to older.

Before half an hour of play, the Portuguese dodged what could have been an unusual injury, after giving a strong kick to the flag that marked the corner of the playing field.

The former Real Madrid footballer returned to the title after his controversial substitution against Milan for the Serie A duel and did so with great enthusiasm. Such was its intensity, as soon as the match began, that it could have ended with a new injury after kicking the corner flag.

The clock did not mark more than 15 minutes when the Portuguese refused to give up a ball that seemed to go to the goalkeeper. He used his speed and managed to reach it just above the baseline and went to the corner to play back and recreate the play.

However, when he wanted to enable a teammate, he not only hit the ball but also the pennant, breaking it in two. Concerns came later, when he began to jump on his left leg with obvious gestures of pain in his right foot.

Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri spoke about Cristiano Ronaldo's injury, which deprived him of playing against Atalanta for Serie A: “I don't know how his knee is, I haven't talked to him yet. Physically I saw him well, in the final section he tried to help us in defense, going down in the lower areas of the field. It means that he physically has energies. ”

With the 1-0 victory, Juventus placed Group D leader with 13 points, ahead of the mattress box with seven. While those of the Italian coach already think of the round of 16, Diego Simeone must beat the Moscow Lokomotiv in the next day to depend on themselves and get their ticket to the next phase.
