How Ronaldo Fooled 4 Genoa Players In Lead-Up To Juve’s Cup Winner
Despite not scoring or assisting in Juve’s Coppa Italia Round of 16 tie against Genoa, Ronaldo fooled 4 Genoa players in the build-up to his team’s winning goal to take them to the next round of the competition.
The Bianconeri made it to the quarter finals in the Coppa Italia after managing a 3-2 victory at the Allianz Stadium over Genoa. Youngster Hamza Rafia stole the headlines as he proved to be the match-winner after coming on in extra-time.
Rafia, 21, was decisive on his Juventus debut as he scored his first goal for the club to book their place in the next round of the competition. Although the youngster is to be praised for his brilliant goal and his quick impact on the game, his goal probably won’t have come without Cristiano Ronaldo’s masterclass.
