In the week Cristiano received a scandalous red card in the Champions League match against Valencia (2: 0).

In the opinion of the majority of fans (including the poll on Football. ua), the removal was unfair. Nevertheless, the UEFA did not even think about canceling the disqualification for Cristiano for the next match, but on the contrary - they opened disciplinary proceedings against him.

European media in this decision saw the machinations of UEFA. The most authoritative Spanish sports newspaper Marca wrote that after retiring from Real Madrid, Ronaldo is "persecuted" by the European football body.

In this thought, the Pyrenean edition was supported by two Italian newspapers - Tuttosport and Corriere dello Sport, who believe that Cristiano's problems are connected with the fact that the move to Juventus deprived him of powerful protection from Real and will now lead to tougher attitude of judges towards the Portuguese.

In addition, the aforementioned media indirectly allude to the fact that the decision to give the award to the best player of the Champions League 2017-2018 midfielder Real Luque Modrica may also be due to the changed attitude of UEFA towards Ronaldo.

Earlier it was reported that Juventus intends to appeal the Cristiano case, but its success is unlikely.
