The main aim of signing Ronaldo for Juventus was clearly to win the Champions league, which they didn’t achieve. I see this as the main reason why people claim Ronaldo wasn’t a good signing for Juventus. As well as him being one of the main reasons for Juventus’ economic issues.

    You’re not wrong, but judging by the comments, I need to make something clear.

    Juventus was the strongest team in Italy at that time, reaching the finals of the UCL twice and was always a tough test for opponents, can’t believe people would call players like Bonucci, Chiellini, Pjanic, Matuidi, Dybala, Mandzukic, and so on, weak players who failed CR7 in his task.

    Getting eliminated by, no offense, Ajax, Lyon and Porto in the UCL raised question marks regarding things including what could the attack, CR7 included, have done better.

    It was one of the wrong decisions by the management, the team was functioning well as a whole until this transfer happened, and we all know CR7 is a perfect finisher, but also a player who would never fit in teams that should function as a whole, instead he will embrace the spotlight to himself rather than serve the team’s said plan.

    The only part where anyone would blame CR7, is him deciding to leave Real Madrid when he was technically one of their pillars at that time and a perfect fit for their system.
