Ronaldo joins Pochettino in attacking Juve over referee row

Ronaldo joins Pochettino in attacking Juve over referee row

Yesterday Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino commented Spurs’ Champions League elimination at hands of Juventus with some harsh words for the Old Lady.

“I try to explain that a club like Juventus that for me was a massive lesson about how the behave. Before the game was Allegri, after the game was Marotta and other people. I saw how they put pressure on the referee after the first half”, the Argentinean said.

A few hours after Pochettino’s claims, former Inter striker Ronaldo hit out at Juve again while attending the ceremony for Inter’s 110th birthday.

“It’s a pleasure to be here. I’ve heard many Inter fans talking about emotions and feelings and I share their opinion because when I used to play for Inter playing well and winning games was not enough. We’ve been battling against a corrupted system that was dismantled, we deserved to win much more than what we did.”

Ronaldo clearly refers to the Calciopoli scandal that saw Juventus being relegated for match-fixing in 2006. Ronaldo played for Inter from 1997 until 2002.
