'Thrill of beating Cristiano Ronaldo? Beautiful': Hellas Verona's Miguel Veloso recalls defeating Juventus

Hellas Verona midfielder Miguel Veloso recalls how he felt after his side defeated Juventus this season. The loss resulted in Cristiano Ronaldo becoming angry.

The 33-year-old Veloso had led his side to a 2-1 win over the defending Serie A champions in February this year.

"The thrill of beating Cristiano Ronaldo? Beautiful, because I know him and I know he doesn't like losing. Seeing him angry was quite nice, even if we talked after the game," Goal.com quoted Veloso as saying.

In the match, Juventus managed to take the lead in the second half after Ronaldo's goal, however, Verona staged a comeback as Fabio Borini and Giampaolo Pazzini struck for the hosts.

As for Hellas, they had a good Serie A season so far and are currently placed on the eighth spot.

Veloso hopes that the campaign gets underway after coming to a halt due to the coronavirus pandemic.

"This is my best season, but it is not only thanks to me, but also to all my team-mates. It`s not just Miguel or Pazzini, we are a team. If the team does well, individual quality comes out," Veloso said.

"I thank the staff and my team-mates, who have contributed to having a good season so far. At the beginning of the year I wanted to give my best, I hope to be able to finish the season because what we are doing is really beautiful," he added.
