Ronaldo ban reduced to one match, will play against United
In a relief to the Old Lady of Turin, the UEFA has handed the striker Cristiano Ronaldo only a one-match ban. This comes after CR7 received a straight red card during the match between Juventus and Valencia in the Champions League. He will not play against Young Boys but will be available for the Champions League match against Manchester United. Further details follow.
What exactly did Ronaldo do to get a straight red?
Juventus were attacking Valencia's goal from the left-wing when Ronaldo slipped into their penalty area, waiting for a cross. When Valencia defender Jeison Murillo tried to block CR7, Ronaldo gave him a slight push, due to which Murillo fell down. Ronaldo, then, touched his head and asked him to get up. Seeing this, the assistant referee warned the referee, who showed Ronaldo the red.
Ronaldo's last visit to Manchester United
Ronaldo won his first UCL title with United in the 2007-08 season and went on to win four more with Real Madrid. He last returned to Old Trafford in the 2012-13 season's UCL round of 16, scoring in both legs and taking Real Madrid to the quarters. Ronaldo is loved by United fans and we will be witness to another special moment this season.
How has Ronaldo been performing with Juventus?
Cristiano Ronaldo took some time to set in his new club but now seems to have found his footing. He opened his account with two goals against Sassuolo and struck again in the Serie A match against Frosinone. The most lethal striker in UCL history will be geared up to open his account when Juventus meet United on October 23.
