In the early morning of July 21, the "Old Daes" of Turin had a light 2-1 victory over Lazio right at home. Striker Cristiano Ronaldo was the brightest star of the match, scoring both goals for Juve in just 4 minutes.
With this double, Ronaldo "surpassed" Andriy Shevchenko to become the player who reached the 50-goal mark fastest in Serie A history. The Portuguese striker only needed 61 matches to score 50 goals, while the "Eastern European Linh" needed 68 matches to reach the same number. In addition, CR̃7 is also the first player to score 50 goals in the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A.
1 penalty and 1 easy tap-in against goalkeeper Strakosha also helped Ronaldo equal the achievement with Ciro Immobile in the Serie A top-three race. Both have 30 goals, but CR̃7's recent form has been more impressive. Since his return to football, the Portuguese striker has scored 9 goals in 8 matches in Serie A. Furthermore, he "scored" the opponent 18 times in the last 20 matches.
If he becomes the top scorer in Serie A, Ronaldo will set a record that is not surprising: becoming the "Shooting King" in all 3 top domestic leagues in Europe. Previously, the player born in 1985 won this award in the Premier League and La Liga.
Despite reaching a series of milestones and having the opportunity to make his name in the history of world football, Ronaldo still modestly shared that the most important thing at the moment is Juventus' victory. The old lagoon" is getting closer and closer to Scudetto. Currently, Sarri's team is still firmly in the top with 80 points, 8 points more than the second-placed team Inter.
