Champions League: Cristiano Ronaldo uncertain for showdown against Lionel Messi

Firstpost  

Ronaldo tested positive for COVID-19 two weeks ago while playing with Portugal, and has been in self-isolation since returning to Italy. Turin: Cristiano Ronaldo remains uncertain to take on Lionel Messi’s Barcelona on Wednesday as he recovers from coronavirus, Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo said on the eve of the match in Turin. “Ronaldo had a test like everyone else, this evening we will have the definitive result,” Pirlo told a press conference in Turin before the Champions League Group G game. It’s not easy to play an entire game after 15 days of inactivity.” Ronaldo, who has no symptoms, has missed three games including his side’s 2-0 Champions League win at Dynamo Kiev last week. “For the first time, I’ll be taking on Messi as a coach, I’ll treat him with the enormous respect that he deserves.” ‘Not a decisive game’ Messi, 33, has featured in four victorious campaigns for Barcelona, while Ronaldo has won the Champions League five times, four with Real Madrid and once with Manchester United.
