Giorgio also said that Ronaldo performance looks quiet calm when he plays against small teams but he is incredible when it comes to big teams.

“Maybe against the small teams he makes a performance that seems subdued. With the big ones, he is incredible. In the Champions League, he turns. He feels it coming and he turns the engine up,” he added.

Before the suspension of competition due to pandemic, Juventus has lost their first leg match against Lyon of the round of 16 match.
