Champions League: Allegri speaks on Ronaldo’s performance in 1-1 draw with Ajax

Juventus manager, Massimiliano Allegri, praised Cristiano Ronaldo after he scored on his return, but demanded more from the team, ahead of the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Ajax.

Ronaldo was back in action following a muscle injury and netted in Wednesday’s 1-1 draw in Holland.

David Neres equalized within seconds of the second half restarting, to haul his side back into the tie.

Asked about Ronaldo after the game, Allegri told reporters: “He was just coming back, he ran a lot and he played a good game.

“He started the action and he wrapped it up [with the goal]. This is Ronaldo.

“But I would add that in the second leg we have to do better as a team and most of all when have possession of the ball and they are pressing us.”

Juve host Ajax in Turin on April 16.
