The Juventus head coach lamented his team's loss, though praised the club's fans for showing their appreciation of the Madrid star
Massimiliano Allegri said Juventus fans were right to applaud Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo for his stunning overhead goal in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Ronaldo earned a standing ovation from the home supporters after his wondergoal in Madrid's 3-0 quarter-final first-leg win at 10-man Juve.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner broke the deadlock within three minutes before producing a moment of magic just past the hour-mark when he sent a bicycle kick beyond a helpless Gianluigi Buffon in Turin.
Speaking to the media post-match, Juve head coach Allegri told reporters: "He has been the best forward in the world in recent years. He has a clarity that nobody else has.
"The fans showed class [by applauding]. Football is a show and when there is a moment like this one, it is correct to applaud.
