Juventus goalkeeper Szczesny: Angry Ronaldo? Of course he is!

Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny insists Cristiano Ronaldo's strop during victory over AC Milan will be excused by teammates.

Ronaldo was visibly upset when hooked by Juve coach Maurizio Sarri on 55 minutes for Paulo Dybala, who ultimately proved the matchwinner on Sunday. The Portuguese stormed down the race and reportedly left the stadium before the final whistle.

But Szczesny insists: "I expect a player to be angry when he leaves the field.

"Cristiano is a champion, it is normal that he is angry at the time of substitution. I am sure that in the decisive moments of the season he will still make the difference."
