Ronaldo lost free kick privileges at Juventus

The most expensive superstar in the club's history had to share free kicks with teammates Dybala and Pjanic.

Coach Allegri did not give Ronaldo exclusive rights to direct free kicks.

When he first arrived at Juventus, Ronaldo was seen as the player who would take all the free kicks, a privilege he had at Real Madrid. However, the situation has changed, with Paulo Dybala and Miralem Pjanic both equally good at taking them.

''Ronaldo is a smart guy. He knows how good Dybala and Pjanic are at free kicks and they will take the close-range free kicks. When there are long-range free kicks, Ronaldo can take them,'' coach Allegri said about the free kick allocation principle that Juventus is applying.

Accordingly, Mbappe has risen to become the most valuable player in the world after impressive performances for PSG and the French national team. He is valued at 189.3 million pounds and pushed Harry Kane - the 2018 World Cup top scorer to second place.

It is worth noting that Cristiano Ronaldo, who moved from Real Madrid to Juventus in the summer transfer window for 100 million pounds, is not in the Top 10 most valuable players. Ronaldo's great rival Lionel Messi is only in a modest 6th place (149.2 million pounds).

The CIES Football Observatory's calculation of a player's value is based on complex numerical analysis. They combine factors from performance on the field, age, the amount of money that can be earned when sold, the remaining length of the contract... to come up with a specific value of the player.
