I know that Higuain tends to take his penalties hard and low, so I was fortunate that it went well," Szczesny told Sky Sport Italia. "Ronaldo told me to go early, because Pipita [Higuain] tends to take powerful penalties, but then I already knew that… "We scored early, lowered the tempo and controlled the game, which is what we wanted to do." Ronaldo told Sky Sport Italia: "I told him to calm down, as he risked an even heavier ban. "He didn’t do much, he was irritable at losing the game, that’s understandable and I hope he is not punished too severely."
