Bentancur opens up on meeting Cristiano Ronaldo in World Cup anti-doping room Serie A Juventus teammates met after last 16 match

When Rodrigo Bentancur entered a private room to undergo a doping test after Uruguay's World Cup game against Portugal, little did he know that he would meet a potential new teammate in Cristiano Ronaldo.

Although rumours had been spreading about the Portuguese's future, Bentancur decided against asking the then-Real Madrid forward about his plans.

"At the World Cup, I had to go to a doping test with Cristiano Ronaldo," he told TyC Sports.

"He greeted me and he even called me by my name and I didn't understand how he knew it.

"At that moment there were rumours about his transfer, but I didn't ask him if he was going to play at Juventus.

"We were talking for a while and off the pitch he seemed a great person."

Ronaldo did go on to sign for Juventus and the Uruguayan reflected on the arrival.

"Upon his arrival they changed my spot in the dressing room, but I am happy for his signing," he said in the interview.

"He is an extraordinary player, something he showed throughout his career, and we have to make the most out of him."

Ronaldo has singed for the next four seasons and was officially presented by Juventus on Monday.
