Aaron Ramsey apologised to Juventus teammate Cristiano Ronaldo after he opened the scoring their 2-1 win at Champions League opponents Lokomotiv Moscow on Wednesday.

Just four minutes of the game had elapsed when home goalkeeper Guilherme spilled a Ronaldo free-kick behind him, with Ramsey getting to the ball to knock it in as it trickled towards the goalline.

Both UEFA and Juventus credited the Welshman with the goal, which was his first in the Champions League since a strike for Arsenal against Monaco in March 2015.

"I thought the keeper was a lot closer to me and had a chance of diving back and maybe clearing it," Ramsey told reporters after the match.

"My instinct took over to make sure that it went over the line. I've apologised to Cristiano."
