Cristiano Ronaldo is ignorant and has no respect for team-mates, blasts former Juventus ace Bruno in astonishing attack

CRISTIANO RONALDO is 'ignorant' and 'has no respect for his team-mates', according to former Juventus ace Pasquale Bruno.

Retired defender Bruno blasted Portuguese superstar Ronaldo for his failure to learn Italian – despite having spent two years in Turin since his £99million move from Real Madrid in 2018.

Speaking on Italian football show Tiki Taka, the 58-year-old fumed: "He is ignorant.

"He has been in Italy for two years and has not yet learned to speak our language.

"He uses Spanish to express himself. He has no respect for his team-mates or for the Italians."

Ronaldo, 35, has shown no signs of relenting in Serie A after firing Juventus to back-to-back titles with 52 league goals in the last two campaigns.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner returned to action – after recovering from coronavirus and spending 17 days in self-isolation – with a brace in the 4-1 win over Spezia on Sunday.

The former Red Devil turned super sub for Andrea Pirlo's side as he found the net just 126 seconds after entering the fray in the 56th minute.

Ronaldo added a second with a cheeky panenka penalty 20 minutes after coming on and in a post-match interview exclaimed: "I'm back, that's what's important."

The prolific forward had publicly raged at testing positive THREE times for the deadly virus as he labelled the PCR swab testing 'bulls***' in a quickly-deleted Instagram comment.

Ronaldo showed off his new buzz cut and ripped body when he stripped down to his CR7 pants before coming off the bench.

His double strike helped haul him back into contention for the Serie A Golden Boot race as he took his tally to five in three games.

But Ronaldo lags behind another golden oldie in frontrunner Zlatan Ibrahimovic, 39, whose stunning bicycle kick for AC Milan against Udinese was his seventh goal in just four games.

Ronaldo had his humble character praised by Italian chef Davide Fiore after he waited almost 40 minutes to land a table in a restaurant in December 2018.
