On Tuesday, Real Madrid confirmed the sale of Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus.
As per the BBC, the Italian club have splashed out £99.2m on the 33-year-old Portuguese superstar.
Ronaldo, who won four Champions League trophies during his nine-year spell in Spain, is Real Madrid’s all-time leading goalscorer. Speaking on ITV, former Manchester United teammate Ryan Giggs shared his theory on why Ronaldo decided to join Juventus.The Wales manager believes it might have something to do with Lionel Messi.
“I’m surprised that he would leave Real Madrid and go to Italy,” said Giggs on ITV. I think it’s a big challenge for him but he’s going to a huge club.Having that on your CV… Real Madrid, Man United and Juventus. It’s some CV. So maybe that will be his argument when people ask ‘Is Ronaldo better than Messi?'”
Ronaldo and Messi have each won five Ballon d’Or awards over the last decade and they’re undoubtedly still the two best players in world football.
