Cristiano Ronaldo At Center Of VAR Controversy In Serie A Debut

The Cristiano Ronaldo Juventus debut ended with the expected three points — eventually.

The Bianconeri scored early, went behind in the second half and then needed a wild ending to see off Chievo 3-2 on Saturday in the opening match of Serie A.

Ronaldo made his debut for the Old Lady and was at the center of some late controversy before Federico Bernardeschi scored a stoppage time winner. 

VAR and goal-line technology were both used in the closing minutes of the 90 with the match even at 2-2.

Cristiano Ronaldo Embarrasses Himself With Juventus Initiation Song But We Love It Anyway

No one — we repeat, no one — is immune to initiation rites in soccer. Not a 40-year-old legend of the game and not even one of the best players of all time. Although after watching the Cristiano Ronaldo initiation song with Juventus, maybe these embarrassing displays need to stop — for the children.

An annual friendly between the Juventus first team and the under-20 squad (that sounds rough) at the Agnelli family estate (the founders of FIAT motor company and owners of the club) saw Cristiano Ronaldo make his first appearance for the Old Lady. It took the Portuguese eight minutes to open his account after a ball over the top sent him through on goal.

The Juve U-20 keeper decided to stay on his line, and Ronaldo buried his effort inside the left post. 

Cristiano Ronaldo acaba de probar la fuerte defensa italiana

Cristiano Ronaldo es el mayor anotador en la historia de la Liga de campeones de la UEFA, pero ha anotado menos goles en la Serie A que Alexi Lalas. Es cierto, el ex defensor de la selección de Estados Unidos ha jugado 44 juegos en la división principal de Italia (44 a 0), pero no voy a permitir que eso detenga mi narrativa.

La Serie A es el hogar de algunas de las defensas más asfixiantes y nefastas del planeta, es el lugar de nacimiento del catenaccio y Fabio Cannavaro era uno de los mejores.

Oh The Humanity! Cristiano Ronaldo Unfollows Real Madrid On Instagram

In a huge piece of investigative journalism, Madrid daily newspaper Marca reported the Cristiano Ronaldo Instagram account unfollowed Real Madrid on Friday. What a scoop!

So, um, does any of this matter?
