The reason behind why Cristiano Ronaldo will not swap shirts with a Roma player
Cristiano Ronaldo has a long-standing grudge against this week's Serie A opponents - Roma - which dates back to his time in England with Premier League giants Manchester United. In an interview with a UK national tabloid back in December 2018, Ronaldo recalled Manchester United's outing against the Giallorossi back in 2007. The Red Devils went up against Roma in the Champions League with the English side winning the second leg of their quarter-final with a smashing 7-1 result. They went through 8-3 on aggregate but Cristiano Ronaldo revealed that his experience over both legs was less than pleasant. Ronaldo recalled, "Roma? There is no player with whom I would exchange a shirt. When it was 6-0, they asked me to stop, an opponent begged me to stop dribbling. Others threatened to hurt me."
