Sky Italia said that Ronaldo had inquired to be on the seat for Juve’s Serie A season opener in Udine in order to protect his wellness as he looks to secure a move away from the club.

The Portuguese forward came off the seat within the 60th miniature to nearly grab a sensational stoppage-time champ, as it were for his bullet header to be ruled out for offside after a long VAR audit.

“Ronaldo is feeling well; I had talked to him before the game, telling him he would start on the bench,” Allegri said.

“He made himself accessible, he did well when he entered the pitch.”

Juve looked like stamping Allegri’s, to begin with, match back in charge of the Turin side with triumph after early targets from Paulo Dybala and Juan Cuadrado put them in control in Udine.

“We played a good game,” Allegri added. “We should have done better in the second half, where we were unable to manage unexpected events. This must serve as a lesson to us.
