He then went on to kick another two balls in the same direction, but soon joined in with the joking and laughter from his Juventus team-mates.
The 34-year-old has had an average start by his standards to Serie A this season, scoring seven goals in his 12 appearances.
Maurizio Sarri’s side sit second in the table, two points behind Inter, and there has been tension in the relationship between the manager and his star man.
Ronaldo reacted angrily after being subbed off against AC Milan although claims of a spat were dismissed.
The former Real Madrid star was beaten to the Ballon d’Or by Lionel Messi earlier this month and according to reports, Ronaldo feels the move to Italy hindered his chances of beating Messi to number six.
Juventus travel to Germany tonight to take on Bayer Leverkusen but have secured top spot in Group D.
Leverkusen could still go through should they beat the Italians and Atletico Madrid fail to beat Lokomotiv Moscow.
Juventus slumped to a 3-1 defeat to Lazio on Saturday despite Ronaldo giving his side the lead.
Sarri was furious with the collapse and slammed his players for not “respecting his strategy” after letting the lead slip.
Sarri’s side could return to the top of Serie A should they beat Udinese on Saturday.
