After losing to Lionel Messi in the Ballon d’Or race by a big margin, Cristiano Ronaldo is performing in a phenomenal way. Also, to add that, the ace has performed exceptionally in the Juve’s last 5 games and scoring each in January.
Back in 2017, when Cristiano Ronaldo moved to Juventus, the David Trezeguet had the said:
Should he beat my record? No problem, I would be proud.
“I have never been jealous of others’ records, imagine if it is overcome by someone, he should be a champion. Until June, I was the youngest Frenchman to have scored in the final round of a World Cup.
“Now, that guy is Mbappé and that’s how it goes: I’m happy to have been overtaken by a guy with a great future “.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored from a penalty for the first time in the game when there was a handball by Florentina skipper, German Pezzella. Dutchman Matthijs De Ligt completed the win for Maurizio Sarri’s team in the 91st minute when he headed home delivery from Paulo Dybala.
Juventus now have a six-point cushion at the top of the Serie A table over Inter Milan, who play their game in hand at Udinese later on Sunday.
