Cristiano Ronaldo je postal veliki junak Juventusa, ko je v globoko v sodnikovem podaljšku priigral enajstmetrovko in nato z bele točke dosegel odločilni zadetek za zmago proti Genoi (2:1).
Stara dama je po zaslugi treh točk spet zasedla prvo mesto ligaške lestvice, kamor se je nad torkovo zmago nad Brescio (2:1) začasno povzpel Inter.
Nad Ronalda se je po zmagu nad Genoo vsul plaz kritki, ker naj bi, vsaj tako so prepričani številni navijači, na sramoten način prelisičil glavnega sodnika in najstrožjo kazen priigral z očitnim simuliranjem.
Do spornega trenutka je prišlo v 95. minuti, ko je Ronaldo v enem izmed zadnjih napadov na tekmi padel ob prvem stiku z gostujočim nogometašem.
Mnenja o tem, ali je šlo za najstrožjo kazen, so sicer deljena, a vseeno prevladuje prepričanje da se je sloviti nogometaš izkazal kot pravi hollywoodski igralec.
Sodniška odločitev je obveljala tudi po pregledu z videotehnologijo (VAR).
Razplet tekme je bil še bolj boleč za Genoo, ker se je od 51. minute z nogometašem manj uspešno upirala prvaku, nato v zadnjih sekundah ostala brez točke.
Portugalski napadalec je bil na družbenih omrežjih tarča ostrih kritik, odločitev o tem, ali so bile te upravičene, pa prepuščamno vam.

Everyone is happy with that Ronaldo dive being given as a penalty by VAR? We are all happy there was contact yeah? Ok just checking. A pathetic excuse for a league where the officials are scared to call against Juve

How many milion times have we seen this move out of Ronaldo? He clearly pulls his foot up so that he falls—clearly not because of any contact. It's a dive. Not a PK. He should get a yellow every time he pulls that disgraceful crap.

What happens in the 95th minute when Ronaldo can't score to win a game?
