Juventus coach, Massimiliano Allegri has rubbished rumors saying Cristiano Ronaldo will exit the club after their UCL elimination.
He has come out to state categorically, that the 34-year-old will remain with the old lady next season.
Ronaldo had featured in the semifinals of the UCL for the past nine seasons, but with Juventus this season, that record was broken as the Italian giants crashed out days back at the hands of Ajax.
Allegri said, “Ronaldo’s had a great season and he’ll play tomorrow,”
“He’s the future of Juventus; an extraordinary player and he’ll have another great season next year.
“He’s calm and disappointed like we all are because we’re out of the Champions League, and we would have liked to have won it. But football is made of joy and sadness.”
“I always said that with the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo, there was no mathematical assurance of winning the Champions League,” he said. “Football is not a science.
“What’s been written about Ronaldo confirms that his arrival at Juve did not guarantee us the Champions League. Look at Barcelona, who are back in the semifinals this year after four seasons and they’ve got [Lionel] Messi. There are lots of components to football.
“If we only win the league, it still means we’ve had a great season.”
