Cristiano Ronaldo’s record in Italy: Ronaldo’s debut season better than a number of legends

Cristiano Ronaldo’s record in Italy: Cristiano Ronaldo has had an excellent start to his career at Juventus.

Juventus are at the top of the league, and are comfortably 9 points ahead of the second-placed Napoli.

At the beginning of the season, the club stunned the footballing world as they announced the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid in a 100 million euros deal.

Ronaldo has since enjoyed life in Turin, and ended 2018 as the top goalscorer in the Serie A this season.

Throughout his time at Juventus, he also became the fastest to 10 goals for Juventus across all competitions in the club’s history, and is already the highest scoring Portuguese player at the club.

Cristiano Ronaldo record in Italy:

Ronaldo bagged a brace in a 2-1 win over Sampdoria last weekend. He has scored 14 goals and made five assists in 19 Serie A games this season.

A new stat has revealed that Ronaldo is ahead of many legendary footballers in their first season in Italy in terms of goalscoring.

The list of the legends includes Ronaldo Nazario, Andriy Shevchenko, Kaka, Zinedine Zidane, Zico, George Weah and many more.

According to the stat, Ronaldo has scored more goals (14) in half-way through the season than a number of superstars at the same stage in their debut season in Italy.

As far as the Champions League is concerned, Ronaldo might have only scored one goal in the tournament so far, but the history is heavily tilted in his favour.

Ronaldo ended Juventus’ Champions League dream in 2017-18, which would now be the club’s major priority, as the winger continues to shine for the side. And the stage is set for Cristiano Ronaldo to inspire them to their third Champions League title.

What next?

Juventus returns to action on January 12 as they take on Bologna in the round-of-16 of the Coppa Italia.
