Juventus forward, Cristiano Ronaldo has disclosed what he told AC Milan star, Gonzalo Higuain following the striker’s red card in his side’s Serie A 2-0 win on Sunday.
Higuain, who is on loan from Juventus, missed a penalty before being sent off against his parent club.
Goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Mario Mandzukic ensured Max Allegri’s side defeated Milan at the San Siro Stadium.
When asked what Ronaldo had said to Higuain, Ronaldo told Sky Sport Italia: “I told him to calm down, as he risked an even heavier ban.
“He didn’t do much, he was irritable at losing the game, that’s understandable and I hope he is not punished too severely.”
Ronaldo added: “I do hope Pipita [Higuain] apologises to the referee for his attitude.
“He needs to learn to control himself more. I saw how much pressure he felt on his shoulders, taking a penalty against his old club, anyone who has played football knows that emotions can get to you in these situations.
