Cristiano Ronaldo could not hide his frustration that despite scoring his first Champions League goal for Juventus the Italian side ‘gifted’ a dramatic late 2-1 victory to Manchester United.
Ronaldo struck with a magnificent first-time volley on 65 minutes to leave Juve on course for the knockout phase, but Juan Mata equalised with an 86th-minute free-kick before Leonardo Bonucci turned into his own net.
It was the 121st goal in the competition for five-time Champions League winner Ronaldo who Juventus are counting on to help them lift their first European title since 1996.

Instead they must now wait for the remaining games against Valencia and Young Boys to seal their passage to the next round.
“United did nothing to win the game,” Ronaldo told Sky Sports Italia.

“We dominated for 90 minutes, had so many chances, could have killed it off three or four times, but we relaxed and were punished.
