Football: Ronaldo exit rumours just normal uproar, says Juventus coach Pirlo

Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo says rumours that Cristiano Ronaldo could leave the club were to be expected after the Italian side's Champions League exit to Porto on Tuesday .

Their early exit this season led to speculation in the Spanish press that the forward could return to former club Real Madrid. "It's normal to have rumours. He's the most important figure in football and he's always being talked about. But let's remind ourselves that he's always done well, scoring around 90 goals for Juventus, and has demonstrated his value."Failing to score in a match can happen, just like it can happen to others. But more of an uproar is made about him."

Pirlo's side travel to struggling Cagliari on Sunday on league duty as they look to move on from the disappointment against Porto. They also have a Coppa Italia final against Atalanta coming up on May 19.
