Why the world is mad at Cristiano Ronaldo

Juventus faced Switzerland's BSC Young Boys yesterday in their final Champions League group game. Ronaldo denied lone Juventus goalscorer Paulo Dybala a last-minute equalizer which could have been a contender for goal of the season. Ronaldo had already missed several scoring chances for Juventus with Young Boys striker Guillaume Hoarau scoring twice. Dybala who came in as a substitute pulled Juventus back into the game reducing Young Boys' lead by one goal. He also scored what would have been a last-minute equalizer with his wonderful strike 25 yards from Young Boys' net.

Unfortunately for Juventus, a goal-hungry Ronaldo leapt at the ball in front of goalkeeper Marco Woelfli but did not make contact. The referee rightfully ruled out the goal due to Ronaldo's offside interference. Furious fans took to social media to criticize Ronaldo for his selfish act. 

Always said Ronaldo is NOT and will NEVER be a team player

Why's everyone so surprised he ruined a world class strike from Dybala to grab the headlines AGAIN

Only One ... LIONEL MESSI #ronaldo #Juventus #YoungBoys #ChampionsLeague

Dybala scores an absolute screamer and Ronaldo jumps whilst offside to try and get a nick on it #egomaniac

Disallowed for offside 😆

Ronaldo, the 33-year-old Juventus forward told Goal.com that he and Juventus are now ready for the "beautiful part" of Champions League football. "Now the beautiful part of the Champions League starts and I'm confident we will be fully ready for it," he said. 

"I'm calm because I know the potential of this team and my potential.

"I could have scored a couple of goals easily but this is football, we just have to start to focus on the next game."
Thanks to Manchester United's defeat to Valencia 1-2, Juventus finished top of Group H despite their shock defeat to Young Boys. 

Cristiano Ronaldo who has been faring rather well in Italy's domestic league hasn't been able to replicate the same top form in Europe's premier club competition, the Champions League. Ronaldo's goal tally at the Champions League this season is his lowest, since his unfruitful 2008/2009 campaign with Manchester United, wherein he scored no goal. This season, Ronaldo has been able to find the back of the net just once in four Champions League matches.
