Italian journalist Mario Sconcerti likened Ronaldo to an ‘old man’ after Wednesday’s game.
Writing for Corriere della Sera, he said: “It was almost embarrassing.
“Until now, he limited himself to scoring goals and not playing so well.
“Now he disappeared. In one play, he kicked the air like an old man without balance.”
Former Italy striker Antonio Cassano described the five-time Ballon d’Or as ‘selfish’.
The ex-Real Madrid and Roma forward said Ronaldo doesn’t care about team-mates scoring.
He said: “I have always said, he has scored a billion goals, but with Andrea Pirlo’s idea of football it could be difficult.
“He scores a goal per game but he struggles with Andrea’s idea.

“He’s always been a bit selfish, he doesn’t give a damn about others scoring goals.
“He does not live for the game – he lives for the goal and in this moment the situation is getting worse.”
Ronaldo raged at the referee after he was denied a late penalty during the game against Porto.
He was spotted shouting at the officials while continuing to angrily jab and point his finger towards them.
