Ahead of this Tuesday’s match against Porto, Cristiano Ronaldo is more than ready for another one of those historic Champions League nights.
Cristiano Ronaldo is the ultimate Champions League ambassador every single year, he is more than ready for another historic night vs Porto. Even though Juventus got defeated during the first leg of the competition, this loss wasn’t that impressive. Having Cristiano Ronaldo in one of these matches automatically turns you into the favorite because of his history in the tournament. We are not just talking about the all-time top scorer but also about the most reliable star of this competition.
Under this type of pressure, only Cristiano Ronaldo is capable of delivering a grade A performance that will resonate all over the world. We all remember when Atletico Madrid defeated Juventus 2-0 at the Metropolitano. Cristiano vowed to get his revenge and completed it with a hat-trick during the return leg. Facing Porto tomorrow seems like a much easier task than facing ‘Cholo’ Simeone’s squad back then.
Ronaldo is rested and ready to go.
Getting last weekend’s rest was essential for Cristiano to get all fired up for his favorite competition. We already got statements from Bonucci and Pirlo about the star’s predisposition ahead of this game. He is one of the few athletes in the world who can turn on that switch when the games are more important. It’s like watching LeBron James get into playoff mode, Roger Federer playing Wimbledon, or Rafa Nadal playing Roland Garros.
They are just built for those levels of competition. Even though Messi is also impressive in the Champions League, he is nowhere near the status that Ronaldo gets when he hears the famous anthem. To all those who believe Juventus is doomed after losing the first leg against Porto, you don’t know what’s coming. It’s time to sit back and enjoy Mr. Champions League at work!
