Cristiano Ronaldo played under Mourinho for three years at Real Madrid earlier in his career, winning the La Liga and Copa del Rey titles along the way.
The Juventus star’s relationship with his compatriot faded towards their time at the Bernabeu, however, with Mourinho leaving in 2013 with few dressing room allies by his side.
