Juventus maintained their leadership of Serie A with a 1-0 win over AC Milan on Sunday after Cristiano Ronaldo was substituted for the second game in a row and walked straight down the tunnel, clearly unhappy with the manager's decision.
Paulo Dybala scored the only goal late into the match in the 77th minute after replacing Ronaldo in the 55th, the Portugal captain's earliest substitution since he joined the Old Ladies at the start of last season.
Despite producing a less than average performance, Ronaldo gave coach Maurizio Sarri a dirty look, silently said something under his breath and walked out of the stadium.
Ronaldo was also replaced during Wednesday's Champions League match at Lokomotiv Moscow when he again looked unhappy at the decision, although Sarri said it was to avoid risking injury as the Portuguese legend was constantly complaining from a knee injury.
Juventus, chasing a ninth successive Serie A title, moved to 32 points, one point ahead of Inter Milan who briefly overtook them following their 2-1 home win over Verona on Saturday.
