‘I Didn’t Expect Him to Hug Me’: Rangnick Responds To Ronaldo Critics After His Latest Episode

“I didn’t expect him [Cristiano Ronaldo] to hug me after being subbed,” explained Ralf Rangnick in his post-match press conference.

“I know how players like those goalscoring players think but again I have to take my decisions in interest of the team and the club.

“I have no issues with Cristiano and I think it was the right decision. Cristiano wasn’t happy, he would’ve liked to stay on and score a goal himself.

“It was more important to be compact at this moment.”
