Cristiano Ronaldo skipped Juventus training and went to Ferrari's factory to buy a $2 million supercar on Monday, just a day after the club's humiliating defeat to rival AC Milan.

The 36-year-old made the visit to Maranello by helicopter with Juventus president Andrea Agnelli and Exor president and Ferrari chairman John Elkann.

Exor is the holding company run by the Agnelli family, which controls both Juventus and Ferrari.

According to Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera, Ronaldo bought a red Ferrari Monza SP1, which is valued at $1.95 million and is only available to purchase by invitation. Others to have been invited to buy the car include Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who played for AC Milan as they thrashed Juve at the weekend.

During his day out at the Ferrari factory, the Juventus forward also posed for photos with Ferrari Formula One drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, who were both given a signed shirt with Ronaldo's name and number on.

On Sunday, Juventus was beaten 3-0 by Milan at the Allianz Stadium.

Goals from Brahim Diaz, Ante Rebic, and Chelsea loanee Fikayo Tomori sealed a vital win for the visitors, pushing it up to third in the Serie A table and Juventus down to fifth.

Having already conceded the Scudetto for the first time in a decade to Inter Milan, Andrea Pirlo's side now also rely on those above it in the Italian top flight to slip up if it is to qualify for next season's Champions League.

Juventus next faces Sassuolo on Wednesday, though it is unclear whether Ronaldo will take part.

"Cristiano has played many games this year and has scored a lot," Pirlo told the club's website on Tuesday. "Today we will decide what to do, tomorrow is a delicate match and I hope to have everyone available."
