Ever since Cristiano Ronaldo has shifted to Juventus, the forward has been blazing guns. Yesterday in the finals of SuperCoppa Italia 2018-19, CR7 scored a stunning header at the 61st minute and gave Juventus the much-required lead. The match was held at King Abdullah Sports City in Saudi Arabia. Juventus missed a few chances to score a goal, but the header by Ronaldo was just too good to be stopped by AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. With this, the scoreboard read 1-0.
The Portugal forward lofted responded to a lofted pass made by Miralem Pjanic and netted a goal. This was CR7’s 16 goal for Juventus. This victory marked Ronaldo’s first win for the new club. CR7 celebrated the win with the champion Flyod Mayweather. Check out the video highlights of the match below.
