Cristiano Ronaldo was frequently substituted due to fitness issues

Cristiano Ronaldo has enjoyed a more or less injury-free career. However, at the age of 34, it is natural for the player to expect a slowdown in his performance. Ronaldo had also admitted in November 2019 that he tried to help Juventus, even if it meant playing with an injury. Ronaldo was also asked about his recent substitutions by manager Maurizio Sarri. He stated that no player would like to be substituted, but he understood that he was subbed off because he was not fit to continue any further.

Ronaldo has seen a decline in his goal-scoring form since moving to Juventus from Real Madrid last season. He scored 28 goals across all competitions last season, winning the Serie A and the Most Valuable Player of the Year award. His performance was not sufficient to claim the Ballon d’Or, with his arch-rival Lionel Messi winning it for a record sixth time in his career.

Juventus are yet to be defeated in the Serie A, but are placed second in the table, a point behind Inter Milan. Juventus will play against Lazio on December 7, 2019 (December 8, 1.15 am according to IST).
