Udinese 2-2 Juventus: Substitute Cristiano Ronaldo is booked for taking his shirt off after scoring a late winner which was ruled out for offside - after he asked to be BENCHED as speculation about his future continues

Cristiano Ronaldo had a last-gasp winner for Juventus ruled out for offside - after he was left out of the starting XI.

The 36-year-old has a year left on his contract and asked manager Massimiliano Allegri to be benched as speculation continues to swirl about his future after it emerged earlier this week that he had been offered to Manchester City.

Ronaldo's team-mates showed they can do fine without him early on, with Paulo Dybala arriving in the box to tuck home Rodrigo Bentancur's centre on three minutes.
