Juventus, Cristiano Ronaldo left the captain's armband to Blaise Matuidi during the championship match won against Udinese (from YouTube)
TURIN – During the championship game won by Juventus against Udinese, with a show by the trident made up of Cristiano Ronaldo , Paulo Dybala and Gonzalo Higuain, the Portuguese striker became the protagonist of a gesture as a true leader of the locker room. Upon leaving the field, Higuain left his captain's armband to Cristiano Ronaldo, his former team-mate at Real Madrid.
Ronaldo was flattered by this gesture but in turn wanted to make another one which was highly appreciated in the Juventus locker room.
