The former Juventus and current Sassuolo defender, Pol Lirola, spoke to Tuttosport ahead of the game against his former side on Sunday. 

 

"After the game against Juventus, I still couldn't believe that I had marked Cristiano Ronaldo. I watched Real Madrid when I was 12, just because Ronaldo joined them. Him and Messi? They are both champions, but I've always preferred Ronaldo. 

 

"If I exchanged shirts with him? No, in Turin I did so with Dybala. On Sunday, I will try to get Ronaldo's. It's very difficult to mark him because of all of his strengths. 

 

"I've seen thousands of DVD's of Cristiano since I was young and I'll definitely watch them on the eve of the clash, but when you're in the field it only counts up to a certain point. If we win I'll take the team out for dinner.
