Twitter erupts as Cristiano Ronaldo's Juventus suffer damaging 1-0 defeat against Napoli

Cristiano Ronaldo blanked in Juventus' 1-0 defeat against Napoli

Juventus' Serie A title aspirations took a massive hit as they suffered a 1-0 defeat against Napoli at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Lorenzo Insigne's first-half penalty was enough to give the home side all three points against Andrea Pirlo's side, with the Bianconeri now seven points behind league leaders AC Milan.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been in stunning form for Juventus this season, but the Portuguese talisman was unable to save his side from losing away from home. Napoli are only two points behind Juventus and currently find themselves fourth in the Serie A standings, as they produced a spirited showing against the reigning champions.

Juventus are in serious danger of losing their domestic crown, with AC Milan and Inter Milan ahead of them in the league standings currently.

On that note, here are the best tweets from a hard-fought encounter in Naples.

Ronaldo has better chance of winning World Cup with Portugal than UCL with Juventus.

Famous and huge win for Napoli against Juventus. Methinks the Old Lady's stronghold on the Scudetto might be coming to an end and it could end up in Milan at season's end. MOTM Alex Meret, stellar goalkeeper.

A Chiellini mistake and a terrible Morata is why we're losing today

Pirlo: "I am just saying the incidents went that way today. It was a dubious penalty, a doubt over the double yellow card for Giovanni Di Lorenzo. Some incidents are treated differently when against Juventus, because everyone talks about us." #juvelive

Pirlo: "We never had a shot on goal, we lost due to a dubious incident." #juvelive

🗣: I wanted to see if we would have got that penalty. There would have been a lot more controversy. I don't know if they would have given it to us.

Another match Bernadeschi did nothing. Pirlo really needs to stop playing him, I struggle to understand the reasoning behind it.

Pirlo at Juve is giving off huge Lampard at Chelsea vibes. Some positives but ultimately too inexperienced to truly meet the club’s expectations. Thrown under the bus by their clubs to save face after various cock ups from the board.
