Serie A 2020-21: Why did Cristiano Ronaldo throw his shirt following Juventus's win over Genoa?

Synopsis

Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal continues to make an impact for the sides he represents even today. He is currently playing for Juventus in Serie A. Despite having won twin titles with it so far, he has failed in Europe with the side, besides struggling in Serie A this season.

Portuguese football sensation Cristiano Ronaldo hardly fails to contribute to any game he plays for, be it the club or international level. However, things are not really going too good for him.

Ronaldo has failed to lead the side to European glory, having been knocked out in the UEFA Champions League's pre-quarters this season. The Serie A title defence is not going in the right way either, as it is 12 points behind leader Inter Milan.

What happened?
Meanwhile, Juventus registered a decent 3-1 win over Genoa at Allianz Stadium, with Ronaldo failing to score. Also, after the game, Ronaldo was seen throwing away his shirt.

Social media was abuzz following the reaction from Ronaldo, with many deeming Ronaldo being unhappy at Turin, especially after not being on the scorer's list in the win. However, the reality was something else.

Reason?
According to a Goal report, Ronaldo actually gave his short to a ball boy on the ground. He threw his shirt at the boy, which has been misunderstood by many.

Previous instance
Earlier, a couple of weeks back, Ronaldo had thrown away his captain's armband during Portugal's FIFA World Cup qualifier clash against Serbia. It had happened after he was denied a later winner under controversial circumstances, despite replays suggesting that it was a reasonable goal. At the same time, the lack of goal-line technology and Video Assistant Referee ruined Portugal's evening.
