Champions League: Ronaldo fired up, says Juve boss

Vanguard news 

Andrea Pirlo says Cristiano Ronaldo is “fired up” and ready to go ahead of Juventus’ crunch Champions League clash with Porto.

The five-time Ballon d’Or was handed a timely rest by the Bianconeri last Saturday as they saw off Lazio 3-1 in Serie A, with Alvaro Morata bagging a brace that allowed an illustrious colleague to see just 21 minutes of game time off the bench.

Pirlo told reporters ahead of the last-16 encounter in Turin clash tonight: “Cristiano Ronaldo is fine, these are his matches. He’s fired up, he’s been able to rest and can’t wait.”
