Lacklustre Juventus began life without Cristiano Ronaldo by suffering a shock 1-0 defeat at home to promoted Empoli in Serie A on Saturday.

Juve, who this week agreed a deal with Manchester United to sell Ronaldo to the Premier League club, looked shorn of ideas up front in the Portuguese forward’s absence.

Other than some fierce Federico Chiesa strikes from range, the hosts did not threaten to score in the first half as Empoli edged into a surprise lead when captain Leonardo Mancuso swept the ball home at the far post in the 21st minute.


After the break, Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri introduced Alvaro Morata, Dejan Kulusevski and new signing Manuel Locatelli from the bench but, even with all that firepower on the pitch, they created few openings of note.

Empoli saw out their first win back in the Italian top flight in relative comfort, leaving Juve on one point from their opening two matches of the season.

When wizkid said 'oh' I felt that shit

They will surely bounce back.

They will surely bounce back.

U need to watch juve play.... they are useless ....for the past 2 seasons, they hv been a disaster.... Ronaldo's presence and goals is just what's been saving them... those that said he is responsible for the teams decline are just bitter haters .... of not for Ronaldo, they wudnt hv won their last Scudetto and they wudnt hv qualified for CL.... watch out for CR7 in the EPL , he is gonna b brutal

This was the last time juve played this same team

Ronaldo was never their problem but they hate to admit it. Good luck to juve.

thought CR7 was the reason why they don't play like a team You got to respect the g.o.a.t ... Anyways thank God he is back home

they would be fine n end up winning the league

Y dont u ever speak the truth when Ronaldo is involved... oh now they will win the league cos he is no longer there but if he was still there , u will swear that they will loose it and he is the cause of their failure....

Either u are a sick liar, very delusional or full of hatred... do u even watch them play?? Juventus is a calamity, they hv one of the weakest midfield in serie a , they have conceded in 16 straight serie a games ... dybala was a disaster yesterday.... the only player that tried last night was chiesa .... I lost alot of money because of that useless team , and thats because I staked on Tuesday b4 the announcement that he will leave... if Ronaldo played last night, they wud have won that game ...his presence alone creates fear and confusion amongst the opposition , even allegri admitted that the team is really bad .... speak the truth for once in ur life

If I were chiesa, I will request for a transfer to a better team b4 this team ruins his young career ...

I no talk am
Go watch d highlight and C space wey CR7 fit explore
I dey wait make madrid/Liverpool bid for chiesa make there own finish patapata

Weyrey wa seh

Then why should the person you quoted support Ronaldo?

Let's learn to criticize without abusing ourselves please. You can never see the whites who are even closer to these guys abusing themselves the way we do here.

Highlight (Messi's) downside and laugh. I highlight (Ronaldo's) downside laugh, and life goes.

The debate ain't ending soooon. So why the unnecessary abuses, mtchew?
