Cristiano Ronaldo relished his return to Camp Nou following Juventus 3-0 win against Barcelona on Tuesday in the UEFA Champions League.
Ronaldo scored a brace as Juventus stunned Barca to top their group in his first return to Camp Nou.
The former Real Madrid player after missing the first leg, played against Lionel Messi but was stole the headline.
After the game Ronaldo took to his Twitter to relish his return to Camp Nou since 2018 when he left Madrid for Juve.
“Today we were a team of Champions! A true, strong and united family! Playing like this, we have nothing to fear until the end of the season… Let’s go!
Ronaldo also spoke with team media after the game.
“We are very happy. We knew it was a nearly impossible mission to come to Camp Nou and get this result, but we did it.
“The key was to enter with the right spirit, after 30 minutes we were already 2-0 up and from there we understood that it was possible and we made it happen.
‘This result can be a great confidence boost, we needed a win against a team like Barcelona, which, regardless of the difficult moment, is still a great team.
” I hope that in the next matches we can follow this path, starting with the match against Genoa.”
Reflecting also after the game, Juventus manager Andrea Pirlo hailed the impact of Ronaldo in the game.
“Juve was good, Ronaldo helped with the two goals, but we must congratulate the whole team who played a perfect match from all points of view.
“The initial attitude was different from the other games, and when you have this desire and this determination, the values come out.
“We have been good at holding positions, we had prepared to take advantage of the superiority in midfield and both Ramsey and McKennie moved very well.
“When you have the supremacy in midfield you have the game in hand.
“This victory must give awareness and confidence in the work we are carrying out.
” It was important for this and for the rankings.
“This is a feat, but we must forget it and think about the championship starting tomorrow.”
Always great to return to Spain and to Catalunya, always hard to play in Camp Nou against one of the best teams I ever faced. Today we were a team of Champions! A true, strong and united family! Playing like this, we have nothing to fear until the end of the season… Let’s go! pic.twitter.com/PivPpJ3SLh
