Cristiano Ronaldo wanted revenge against Real Madrid, reveals his former teammate

Cristiano Ronaldo apparently wanted revenge against Real Madrid according to a former Juventus teammate, whose comments in a podcast suggested as much.

Ronaldo left Los Blancos after winning their fourth Champions League crown in 2018 and had become the club’s all-time leading scorer.

In 2021, Ronaldo once again opted for a change of scenery and returned to Manchester United, but could not win any title at Old Trafford.

After a fight with Erik ten Hag, his contract was terminated by mutual agreement as the following year came to an end.

As he now plies his trade for Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, the chance to win the Champions League will likely never be on the table again for one of the greatest players of all time.
