Cristiano Ronaldo is in hot form and gunning for revenge
going into Tuesday’s Champions League clash against Valencia after seeing red
against the Spaniards in the away leg, with Juventus needing a draw in Turin to
book their ticket to the knockout rounds of the European competition.
“Happy to have helped the team on another important win,”
the 33-year-old wrote on social media after scoring his tenth goal this season
for the Italian giants in Saturday’s 2-0 win over SPAL as Juventus opened up a
record eight-point lead on the top of Serie A after 13 games.
Ronaldo was purchased by Juventus for €100m from Real
Madrid last summer to help their quest for the elusive Champions League title
after finishing runners up twice in the past four seasons.
But the Portuguese superstar is also proving to be a key
element in the team’s race towards an eighth straight Serie A title, with nine
goals and five assists of their 28 goals this season.
No Italian team have ever achieved 37 points from the
first 13 games, with Ronaldo becoming the fastest forward in the club’s history
to score 10 goals in all competitions.
