After bagging a brace against Sassuolo last weekend, Ronaldo was sent off on his UEFA Champions League debut against Valencia.
Allegri has leaped to the defence of the Portuguese, claiming has nothing to prove to anyone at this moment in his career.
"He will have a great performance as he did in the first 30 minutes in the Champions League," he said.
"Everyone always has very high expectations of him but do you think he still has something to prove? I think he simply needs to play and enjoy himself, scoring goals as he always does. He has already proved everything in his career.
"He is a very a demanding player, especially with himself, so I'm sure he will play a great game. Wednesday's episode is already in the past."
