Portugal and Juventus star, Cristiano Ronaldo has cleared the air on the alleged quarrel with his club manager, Maurizio Sarri after he was substituted in a Serie A match.
The former Real Madrid man said he was not in good shape that was why he was substituted by the manager but he admitted he hates to be substituted.
The former Chelsea manager substituted Ronaldo in his side’s last two matches against AC Milan and Lokomotiv Moscow which doesn’t go well with Portuguese star as they were both seen engaging in an argument on the touch-line.

Juventus forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, has revealed why he was substituted during his side’s last two matches against AC Milan and Lokomotiv Moscow.
Ronaldo while speaking with A Bola after scoring in Portugal’s 2-0 victory over Luxembourg in a Euro 2020 qualifier encounter on Sunday, said: “In the last three weeks I have been playing with limitations.”
“Everyone knows that I don’t like to be substituted, but there was no problem in my gestures after the change. I tried to help Juventus by playing injured.”
“Nobody likes to be replaced, but I understood it because I wasn’t in such good shape.”
Ronaldo added: “I sacrificed myself for the team. We could have missed out [on Euro 2020]. Thankfully, I haven’t been injured much in my career but it can happen.”
“It’s a pain that prevents me from being 100%, but I always try to play. They created a big controversy where it didn’t need to exist. I’ll be back to 100% soon.”
Ronaldo will now hope to lead Juventus to victory when they take on Atalanta in the Serie A fixture on Saturday.
