'It is impossible to replace a goal machine like Ronaldo' - Juventus legends hit out after star's exit

Sergio Brio and Alessio Tacchinardi believe the five-time Ballon d'Or winner should have handled his departure from the Serie A giants differently

Cristiano Ronaldo has been criticised by Juventus legends Sergio Brio and Alessio Tacchinardi for forcing his way out of Turin, with the Portuguese superstar told he has left former employers in an "impossible" situation.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner, after entering the final year of his contract, is now back in England after completing an emotional return to Manchester United.

Ronaldo, who has become the all-time leading goalscorer in men's international football, has left a sizeable void at Allianz Stadium, with Juve given no time in which to find a suitable replacement.
