Juventus president Andrea Agnelli paid tribute to Cristiano Ronaldo at yesterday's shareholders' meeting.

Juventus spent €110m to secure his signature from Real Madrid, while Manchester United signed him in August for €15m plus €8m add-ons.

“It was an honour and a pleasure," said Agnelli.

“And if we think about what has been on the field, we cannot symbolically applaud Cristiano and thank him for the joys.

“The only pity is that for one year and a half out of three, we played behind closed doors.

“(Alvaro) Morata is right when he says that the Juventus jersey brings responsibility. I am in charge of this club and Juventus is bigger than anyone else had the honour to participate in this path. It comes before any other person.

“In this context, we need to regain our values: work, sacrifice, discipline. These values must bring results on and off the pitch."
