Cristiano: 'I do not understand why Juve protested, it was a penalty!'

The former Real Madrid`s goal-maker Cristiano Ronaldo is convinced that the penalty against Juventus is clean. In the 93rd minute, Lucas Vazquez fell into the penalty area and won the white standings for the next phase. 'I do not understand why Juve protested, it was a penalty. They pushed him back. If they do not make a penalty, it`s a goal.', the Portuguese siad minutes after the end of the drama.

'We suffered, it will serve us as a lesson. In football, nothing comes as a gift. You have to fight to the very end. Today (the day before yesterday) Real Madrid could have scored more goals, but Juve and Buffon played hard. We are just going forward fairly!', he is convinced.

Chelsea with hopes for a star of Dortmund

Chelsea is the favorite for the signature of Christian Pulisic, the Daily Mail says. 20-year-old American talent has a contract with Borussia (Dortmund) by 2020 and the German club has already resigned that he will have to part with him at the end of the season. The leader in the Bundesliga wants to take a transfer fee for him after the recent attempts to negotiate a new contract with the player were unsuccessful. However, the Londoners are keen to hurry and attract them back in January. Chelsea is worried about a possible FIFA punishment and a ban on transfers due to unauthorized attraction of young footballers.

Pulisic continues with good looks this season, in which Borussia has no loss in the league and is the only leader after defeating Bayern 3:2 in the last round and leads the Bavarians with seven points. The American, however, has not been the champion in all matches since Jadon Sancho, who was the title-runner in the derby at the expense of Pulisic. The 20-year-old talent is in Dortmund from 16, but now he is not willing to sign a new contract with the club. The club predicted by nations league partners can part with him for a transfer fee of about 100 million euros, but his price is likely to fall, as there will be a contract in the summer of only 12 months.
