Cristiano Ronaldo
Even though he had a really slow start to life in Italy following
his move from Real Madrid, football superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo has now
equalled a 60-year-old goalscoring record at Juventus.
The Portuguese failed to find the back of the net in his first
three matches in Serie A, before finally breaking his duck with a brace
against Sassuolo last month.
Since then, Ronaldo has been among the goals regularly in Italy,
adding another two to his tally in his side’s 2-1 win over Genoa on
Saturday.
According to the Mirror, the 33-year-old has now scored seven
league goals in his first 10 matches for the Bianconeri, becoming only
the second player to achieve that ratio at Juve since John Charles, who
did so in the 1957/58 season.
Charles ended his debut campaign with the Italian giants with 28
strikes, a tally Ronaldo will be backing himself to better this season.
A host of top names came close to the same feat for Juve, but fell
short of the mark, including Gonzalo Higuain, Carlos Tevez and Filippo
Inzaghi, who all managed six strikes in their first 10 Serie A matches
for the club.
