Juventus hero Alessio Tacchinardi feels Cristiano Ronaldo must apologise for his antics in victory over AC Milan.

Ronaldo was hooked on 55 minutes and left the stadium before the final whistle in the 1-0 win. He then left Turin to join up with Portugal's squad without offering an explanation to coach Maurizio Sarri nor his teammates.

Tacchinardi told Gazzetta dello Sport, "Ronaldo has not done a nice gesture, and even if we all admire him we must say that he was wrong.

"If you get angry, show your restraint, if you leave before the end, you are wrong.

"(But) I think this change has done something for Ronaldo himself: it will have stimulated him further."

The former midfielder added: "In the meeting that will be used to 'mediate', everything must be cleared up: respect is not compromised."
