In case you didn't know...
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner moved to Juventus last summer to help them conquer Europe, yet Ronaldo and co. came up short against Ajax. The Juventus star was devastated after his two goals over two legs were not enough to see the Old Lady through to the semi-finals.
Ronaldo also helped the Bianconeri mount a sensational comeback against Atletico Madrid in the Round of 16 stage. After suffering a 2-0 loss in the first leg, Ronaldo netted a hat-trick to singlehandedly take Juventus into the quarter-finals.
The 34-year-old has racked up 19 goals and 10 assists in his first season in Serie A and remains one of the top goalscorers and assist providers in the league. Juventus have a 17 point lead at the top of the table but were knocked out from Coppa Italia after winning the domestic double in the last four years.

"He is the future of Juventus. He has done well this year and will do great things next year. He's disappointed but he's calm about it, like everyone else."
