Juventus great Alessandro del Piero admits he was unhappy seeing Cristiano Ronaldo skip out on his teammates last week.

Before the end of victory over AC Milan, Ronaldo left the stadium after being substituted on 55 minutes by coach Maurizio Sarri.

The pair have since publicly played down the incident, but Del Piero told AS: "Leaving the stadium before the end of the game is not beautiful or suitable for a player with his quality and behavior.

"However, the gesture does not count, which is not positive, but his way of behaving every day. Cristiano is a great professional and that's why his teammates respect him very much."
