Cristiano Ronaldo has labelled his coronavirus test as “bull****” after being ruled out of JuventusChampions League match against Barcelona.

The Portuguese tested positive two weeks ago while on international duty and has since been in quarantine at his home in Turin.

Ronaldo took a PCR test on Tuesday in a late bid to play at the Juventus Stadium on Wednesday night, but despite continuing to be asymptomatic, the test came back positive.

Ronaldo said he was “feeling good and healthy” and that the “PCR IS BULL****”, questioning the efficiency of the swab tests used to test Covid-19.

Ronaldo’s absence has prevented the highly-anticipated latest instalment of his rivalry with Lionel Messi.

And with both playing in different leagues, it was seen as one of the final occasions to witness the two legendary players go head-to-head.

Both teams won their opening games of Group G, with the Italians beating Dynamo Kiev and the Spaniards beating Ferencvaros respectively.

There will be one more occasion to witness Ronaldo vs Messi when the return leg takes place on 8 December at the Nou Camp.
