Andrea Pirlo insisted Cristiano Ronaldo was happy to be subbed off in Juventus' 3-2 win over Inter Milan. Although Inter levelled after 83 minutes, Juan Cuadrado netted a late penalty to give Pirlo's side a crucial win as they fight to try and secure Champions League football next season. 'I think it was the first time he was happy to be subbed off,' Pirlo told Sky Italia. Should they miss out, it would be the first time since the 2011-12 season that Juventus have not featured in the Champions League, and would put even more pressure on manager Pirlo. Before that huge match against Bologna, Juventus face Atalanta midweek in the Coppa Italia final.
