Former coach Fabio Capello slammed Cristiano Ronaldo for ‘turning in the wall’ in the decisive moment of the Champions League exit against FC Porto.
The Old Lady were eliminated after a 4-4 draw on aggregate, as 10-men Porto went through on away goals.
Sergio Oliveira’s decisive free kick went under the wall and through Ronaldo’s legs, leaving Wojciech Szczesny unsighted.

Capello pointed at the early penalty too and said the ‘gifted goals’ in both games cost Juventus in the end but claimed Ronaldo ‘being afraid’ in the wall was ‘the worst’.
“The first goal in the first game was a gift,” Capello told Sky Sport Italia. “Great carelessness in the second. Certain goals can’t be conceded.
“The penalty kick tonight is another gift. Too naïve from [Merih] Demiral, you can’t go looking for the interception, it’s a serious mistake.
“But this is the worst: Cristiano Ronaldo jumping and turning in the wall. Whoever is in the wall can’t be afraid of being hit.
“It’s an unforgivable mistake that has no excuses."
