Cristiano Ronaldo may have moved clubs but there has been no drop in his appetite for goals.
In their pre-season friendly, Juventus were against their B team, and the talismanic Portuguese forward took only eight minutes to score his first goal in the famous black and white jersey.
Ten minutes later Ronaldo doubled his tally. Juventus won the match 5-0, with Dybala also scoring a brace. Claudio Marchisio scored the final goal.
The five-time Balon d'Or winner, Cristiano Ronaldo, who joined the Italian champions in July in a deal worth a reported 100 million euros, has made the right kind of noise in the training and as expected made the perfect start to his life in Turin.
Here’s a look at the goal which probably has to be one of the easiest of his career. One cannot give Ronaldo so much of space and if you do be prepared to be penalised.
The former Real Madrid man has already mesmerised his Juventus teammates at the training ground.
Juventus winger Douglas Costa has summarised Ronaldo’s training session in the best possible way.
It is impossible to follow Cristiano Ronaldo in training. When we arrive, he is already training, when we leave he is still training, I have never seen a player like that.Douglas Costa, Juventus
After nine years at Real Madrid, Ronaldo joined the Italian champions for an agreed fee of 100 million euros with Real Madrid.
The 33-year-old has signed a four-year contract with an annual salary of 30 million euros. Clubs in Italy pay the same amount in tax which they have paid for the transfer fee. So, the total cost of the transfer for the entire deal was 340m (€100m transfer fee plus €240m in salary and taxes).
Ronaldo joined Real Madrid in 2009 after six years at Manchester United. He won four Champions League titles with Real, two league championships, two Spanish Cups and three FIFA Club World Cups.
He also became Real’s record scorer with 451 goals in 438 games. While there he won four Ballons d’Or and three Golden Boots.
