Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo has been admonished by football fans after appearing to react 'angrily' to Mario Mandzukic’s goal after he himself missed an open net in the club’s 2-0 win over Lazio on Saturday.


Despite a man-of-the-match performance, Ronaldo failed to score as ‘The Old Lady’ recorded a win against the Rome club in to make it two Serie A wins from two this season, picking up maximum points along the way. The 33-year-old has now not scored in both of those matches since his $117 million move from Real Madrid

Miralem Pjanic and Mario Mandzukic gave the champions the points with goals either side of half-time, with Mandzukic netting a volley after Ronaldo scuffed a chance to net from just inches out with the goal gaping.



Although Mandzukic scored when the ball ricocheted off his teammate's heels, Ronaldo threw his arms in the air rather than celebrating initially with the rest of his teammates, in an action that has been interpreted as “angry” and "selfish" by football fans, some even declaring him as "not the GOAT" (greatest of all time).
