The 36-year-old was blamed for turning his back on the defensive wall against Porto on Tuesday.
In addition to a photo of him in training, Ronaldo said: ‘More important than the number of falls you take in life is how fast and how strong you can get back on your feet … True champions never break!
‘Our focus is already in Cagliari, in the Serie A match, in the final of the Italian Cup and in everything we can still achieve this season.
‘It’s true that the past belongs in museums (I must say!), But fortunately football has memory … and so do I!
‘History cannot be removed, it is written every day with resilience, team spirit, perseverance and a lot of hard work.

The latest reports in the Spanish media state that Ronaldo would like to return to Real Madrid this summer, with Juve wanting to sell for only £ 25 million.
The 36-year-old signed a £ 88million deal with the Italian champions in 2018, hoping to lead his new team to a Champions League title, something they have escaped since 1996.

But since joining, they have been knocked out by Ajax, Lyon and now Porto.
His £ 28m-a-year salary means he is the club’s highest earner, and the report adds that Juventus could drop him this summer.
Ronaldo helped lead Zinedine Zidane’s Real Madrid to four Champions League titles in five seasons, as well as leading the club to two LaLiga titles during his nine-year tenure, allowing him to score 450 goals in 438 games in all competitions. .
