Cristiano Ronaldo’s Juventus debut to be shown live on Facebook for FREE

CRISTIANO RONALDO’S debut for Juventus is set to be shown live on Facebook for FREE, as Eleven Sports create a historic partnership with Serie A and La Liga.

Eleven Sports are planning to show at least one Italian and Spanish top-flight game per week for absolutely nothing.

And their first trick will be to show former Real Madrid star Ronaldo’s first game for the Old Lady against Chievo.

The game will take place on Saturday, August 18 – with kick-off at 5pm BST – and will be shown on Eleven Sports’ UK Facebook page.

As well as Juve’s new £99million man hitting the free-to-air Facebook channel, there will be two other games in the opening weekend.

As well as Chievo vs Juventus, Girona vs Valladolid and Valencia vs Atletico Madrid will hit the computer monitors.
