Ronaldo Defends Penalty as Juventus Protest

Real Madrid suffered a 3–1 defeat at home to Juventus in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League quarterfinal, but still advanced with a 4–3 aggregate score. The match ended in high drama, with a last-minute penalty converted by Cristiano Ronaldo sealing Madrid’s progression. The controversial call and its aftermath have become a major talking point across BD Cricket Live, where fans are split over whether the decision was justified.

After the final whistle, Ronaldo addressed the media, firmly standing by the referee’s decision. “It was definitely a penalty,” said the Portuguese star. “I don’t understand why Juventus players were protesting so much. Lucas Vázquez was clearly fouled from behind. If he hadn’t been brought down, it would’ve been a goal.” His comments came amid fierce debate, with Juventus players—including Gianluigi Buffon—visibly outraged during and after the incident.

Reflecting on the match, Ronaldo admitted it was a tough battle. “We faced serious difficulties tonight, but that’s football,” he said. “Nothing is handed to you. You have to fight for every minute. We could’ve scored more goals, but Juventus defended incredibly well—especially Buffon, who was outstanding.” The star forward’s remarks have sparked even more reaction among BD Cricket Live users, many of whom are analyzing the call frame-by-frame.

As for the decisive spot-kick, Ronaldo showed no signs of pressure. “There were a lot of boos, but I stayed calm. I knew I was going to score. It felt like it was written in the stars.” His ability to remain composed under intense scrutiny once again demonstrated why he’s considered one of the game’s greatest.

Looking ahead to the semifinals, Ronaldo urged caution. “One step at a time,” he said. “Anything can happen in football. What matters now is that we learn from this game and move forward.” For fans and analysts on BD Cricket Live, the match has offered plenty to dissect—not just the penalty, but also Madrid’s vulnerabilities, Juventus’s courage, and Ronaldo’s unshakable confidence under pressure.
