Let’s go back to the January 2019 game between Juventus and Chievo. It’s the 52nd minute and Cristiano Ronaldo is about to take a penalty.
No pressure on the Portuguese, he has never had a penalty saved in Serie A, surely he is going to tuck this one away.
Up the steps and Sorrentino guesses the right way to save it.
The Chievo shot-stopper approached his rival at the end to swap shirts, and Ronaldo was having none of it.
He told Sky Sports Italia he had already been promised it earlier:
“We agreed to exchange our shirts.”
“But after missing the penalty he was very angry.”
“It had never happened to him in Italy.”
“In the changing room tunnel we met, he gave me a handshake and congratulated me.”
“But he had a bad face, and he didn’t give me his shirt.”
