At that price he should be providing the Champions League trophy before the final is even played. A massive bet by Juve success wise and one that at that price they won't recover the benefits... Infact it will produce more for Serie 'A' in general than for the club. Those wages are over the barrier where it's beneficial which is why Florentino said bye bye.

Building the foundations for the future so to speak .... A decent reading into the what ifs and maybes but that isn't the case with this scenario. Florentino Pérez thinks of the here and now and prioritises the brand name because it's that which brings in the revenue to finance such deals. Plus it keeps the club at the forefront ahead of other clubs. Many things can be thrown at Florentino Pérez, but what he DOES know about is value for money and what it produces. Cristiano Ronaldo was willing to stay because he's like all players in that sense and was happy with life in Madrid. But what he was asking for (what he's recieved from Juve) was something that he didn't see any value in at all considering possible future possibilities which you have touched on coupled with Cristiano's age. Real Madrid are full of Champions Leagues historically and in contemporary times which means the club has leverage and scope to search for new frontiers while Juventus are in a whole different category and willing to bet with a high price as they tried with Higuaín.
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted November 12, 2018 Subscriber Posted November 12, 2018 Serie A: Juventus official open to league matches being played outside Italy By Simon Stone BBC Sport 1 hour ago | European Football Juventus may end up playing a 'home' Serie A game away from their normal Allianz Stadium Playing a regular season game abroad would be a "good option" for Serie A, according to Juventus' chief revenue officer Giorgio Ricci. Juventus were 10th in the 2018 Deloitte Money List but the league itself has fallen behind the Premier League commercially. The Premier League's overseas TV deal is worth around £770m more per year than Serie A. "To get the league more global is really important," Ricci said. "Exporting one of the 38 games is a good option," he told BBC Sport. Juventus, who beat AC Milan 2-0 on Sunday in one of the showpiece matches of the Italian calendar, will face the same opponent in the Italian Super Cup in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on 16 January. The Italian Super Cup was first played outside Italy in 1993 and has been done so on nine occasions since then. Exporting a game that is 'not an exhibition' Barcelona are due to play Girona in a Spanish league game in Miami on 26 January in the first regular-season European club game to be played in the US, although it may not happen as world governing body Fifa, the Spanish FA and the Spanish players' union are all opposed to the idea. Ricci says Serie A must attempt to keep up with Europe's most commercially successful leagues and understands the thinking behind an overseas game, although he accepts there is a delicate balance to be struck. He said: "If we look at some other more developed leagues in terms of commercial strategy; the NBA and NFL, they are exporting one or two of their matches abroad, to the UK or elsewhere in Europe. "I think it is a good strategy. It is a way to export something that is not an exhibition. "The key is finding the right balance between what the commercial need is and not losing the domestic DNA, which is the essence of football." The Ronaldo project In the 2018 Deloitte money list, Juventus' revenue was £232.6m below the total of Manchester United, who were in first place. Their commercial revenue was £181.2m less. Ricci says it is essential for Juventus to maintain their place among the richest 10 clubs as he says their combined annual income growth rate is 12%, compared to four percent across the sports and entertainment industry as a whole. This was a major factor behind Juventus' willingness to pay Real Madrid a club-record £99.2m for Cristiano Ronaldo and give him a four-year contract that expires when the five-time world footballer of the year is 37. Ricci said: "The whole Ronaldo operation represented the very first activity which shared from the very first stage of the operation, the sports needs and the business needs of the club. "It is unique in football because it combined a development plan and a return on the plan, both on and off the pitch." https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46133503

Their only loss came in the Coppa Italia final as Napoli defeated them 2-0 to prevent a history-making invincible season across all competitions. Inspired by veterans Alessandro Del Piero and Gianluigi Buffon, who had stayed through the club whilst it was demoted to Serie B, this particular Serie A title and unbeaten run would have felt all the more sweeter for both the fans and players alike. 5 Star Players: Gianluigi Buffon, Giorgio Chiellini, Claudio Marchisio, Andrea Pirlo, Arturo Vidal, Alessandro Del Piero Match of the Run - Juventus 4-0 Roma: Juventus' performance against Roma symbolised everything about their season. A feel-good factor had been brought back to the club after the dark years of the corruption scandal, with Conte leading from the front. A brace from Chile superstar Arturo Vidal and goals from the legendary Andrea Pirlo and fellow Italian Claudio Marchisio rounded off an emphatic victory and sent them on their way to claiming Serie A in style. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/football/6-of-the-longest-unbeaten-starts-to-a-season-in-all-competitions/ss-BBPRd7Y?li=AAnZ9Ug
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted December 7, 2018 Subscriber Posted December 7, 2018 Juventus v Inter Milan: Poisonous rivals and the Derby d'Italia 6 December 2018|European Football Juventus v Inter Milan Date: Friday 7 November Time: 19:30 GMT Coverage: Live text commentary on the BBC Sport website Fifteen seconds of action on 26 April 1998 defined the conspiracy and rancour that accompanied the Derby d'Italia over much of the next 20 years. With 69 minutes gone at the Stadio delle Alpi that day, Serie A leaders Juventus were 1-0 up against Inter Milan, just a point behind, in a potential title decider. Inter, who had toiled without much sight of goal, suddenly had a sniff. A burst into the box from Ivan Zamorano, a brief muddle of confusion by the black-and-white clad defenders and the ball breaks into the path of Inter's spearhead Ronaldo. The Brazilian nudges the ball into space, but, before he can let fly, he is floored by a shoulder charge from defender Mark Iuliano. All eyes spin to referee Piero Ceccarini, but he waves play on. With a trail of Inter midfielders pursuing the official and their gesticulating manager Luigi Simoni being ushered off the field of play, Juventus break upfield. Edgar Davids sweeps the ball to Zinedine Zidane. Zidane tickles the ball into the path of an onrushing Alessandro del Piero. Inter defender Taribo West chases back furiously. Del Piero hits the floor. This time referee Ceccarini blows for a spot-kick. The protests were long and loud on the day. And they haven't really stopped since. When the Calciopoli match-fixing scandal broke in 2006, many Inter fans felt that their suspicions over Juventus' treatment by officials had been proved right. Juventus were relegated to Serie B and stripped of their last two league titles as punishment for their overly cosy relationship with the referees' chief. When Inter Milan were awarded one of Juventus' crowns, the spite between the two sharpened further. "In the last 20 years, it has become one the bitterest, most poisonous rivalries that you can imagine," Italian football expert James Horncastle told BBC Radio 5 live's Football Daily European Show. "It was given the name Derby d'Italia in the 1960s by legendary sportswriter Gianni Brera because, at the time, these were the two teams who had won the Scudetto the most times. "With the passing of time, the name caught on more generally." The rivalry suffered an imbalance in the last few years. Juventus have won seven successive titles, while Inter have made the top four only twice. However, since Chinese retail giant Suning bought a controlling stake in Inter in 2016, they have formed an unlikely alliance aimed at restoring Serie A to the mid-90s glory days when it was home to the world's superstars. "While that rivalry exists in the stands and when the whistle goes, these two clubs are very allied off the pitch," said Horncastle. "They see themselves as the future of Serie A and making the league more relevant again. "Both have young ambitious leaders. Juventus president Andrea Agnelli, 43, has been very much responsible for their rise over the last decade. "Meanwhile, Steven Zhang was appointed (as Inter president) in October at the age of just 26. "It is no coincidence that former Juve chief Beppe Marotta, who is seen as the architect of some of their great transfers over the last year and helped bring about their new training ground and offices, is about to take that same position with Inter. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46470608
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted March 18, 2019 Subscriber Posted March 18, 2019 Quote CRISTIANO RONALDO has been charged by UEFA for his celebration in Juventus’ Champions League win over Atletico Madrid last week. Christiano Ronaldo struck a sublime hat-trick as Juventus overcame a first leg deficit to beat Atletico Madrid 3-0 in Turin. The Portugal international had been frustrated by a defiant Atleti in the previous match but rose to the fore to fire his side through. Upon celebrating his third goal, Ronaldo gestured towards his crotch in a clear dig at Diego Simeone. Atletico boss Simeone had done the same gesture in the first leg and was fined £18,000. https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1101677/Cristiano-Ronaldo-Juventus-UEFA-charge-Champions-League-Atletico-Madrid

No doubt he has an ego...but in any other generation he'd likely be the greatest scorer ever, however he has been battling Messi for over a decade. I'm not too arsed with his ego though, it doesn't get him into trouble and the man has accomplished many great feats. LeBron James (if you watch the NBA), but drive you crazy as he also checks all these boxes plus some. Doesn't bother me as long he is still performing at the elite level he is.

He is an alleged rapist, but that has quite down. His competitive edge shows his arrogance as a professional. Also his character as a whole. Insecure and arrogant. That said, insecure and arrogant people can still have a heart of gold. Ronaldo has done wonders for the less fortunate.

Yeah - if the rapist allegations actually occured, then he's dead to me. Until then, he has done a lot of great things, and his actions on the pitch are arrogant, but he is one of the greatest and usually his actions don't hurt or offend other people, so I'm okay with it.
