It was a serious and unforgivable mistake - Capello to Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo has been criticized for joining the human wall which led to Porto’s gain in extra time.

Sérgio Oliveira performed a nutmeg to win a free kick in second half extra time and then dusted himself off to smash in a low shot from a considerable distance, slightly to the left of the centre. The Juventus wall joined by Ronaldo jumped as the ball crawled below the Portuguese to beat Szczęsny at his near post.

Although Juventus quickly responded two minutes later when Bernardeschi located Rabiot in the centre of the penalty area to power a header beyond the goalkeeper at his right-hand post yet that did not guarantee their qualification due to the away goal rule.

Fabio Capello has criticized the no.7 for joining the wall in the first place instead of giving someone who was not 'scared 'to get hit by the ball through the defending.

"Whoever is in the wall can't be a player who is scared of getting hit," Capello said as working as a pundit on Sky Italia.

"It was a serious and unforgivable mistake. There are no excuses.

"When you're a coach you speak to the players and say that whoever is scared should say so and they won't go in the wall.

"Coach, you've been eliminated because you put two players in the wall who turned around when the shot was struck. It's not the goalkeeper's fault that it went in.

"Whoever doesn't face up to the shot without fear shouldn't be in the wall."

Ronaldo’s arrival at Juventus have seen them gone out to Ajax in the quarter-finals, to Lyon in the last 16 and to Porto in the last 16.
