The case of Ronaldo
After losing the finals in 2015 and 2017, the Juventus triumph in the Champions League did not show up even with the supercarrier Cristian Ronald.

In the podcast, Pavel Nedvěd evaluates Juventus’ cooperation with the phenomenal Portuguese. What was Ronald’s influence? “I have to say once a year that Cristiano has fulfilled his role. Although he didn’t help us win the Champions League either, we were successful with him, “says Nedvěd.

“The truth is that Cristiano didn’t quite fit into Juventus’ club philosophy. In any case, Ronaldo is the champion, who guarantees you some 30 to 35 goals per season. Such a player will increase your chances of winning, but will also bring something that will disrupt the cohesion in the cabin. In any case, I still see its benefits as positive than negative, “adds Nedvěd.
