DBasia.news – Cristiano Ronaldo is really good. He brought Juventus away from the needle hole against AS Roma, plus his record goal record has not stopped.
Roma took the lead twice through Jordan Veretout’s goals (31′ penalties and 45 + 1′) which were later rewarded with two goals from Cristiano Ronaldo (44′ penalties and 69′). Juventus also played with 10 players when Adrien Rabiot was shown a red card in the 62nd minute.
Andrea Pirlo’s Juventus continued to play offensively with possession of the ball 60 percent compared to Roma’s 40 percent, but the hosts played a dangerous counter-attack that threatened Il Bianconeri’s goal.
That can be seen with five kicks on target from 11 attempted kicks, while Juve have eight kicks and three on target. Veretout gave Roma twice the lead but Juventus had Ronaldo.
The 35-year-old Portuguese superstar saved Juventus from defeat with his crucial goal in the 69th minute. Welcoming a Danilo Ronaldo’s cross beat two Roma defenders and headed the ball into the net guarded by Antonio Mirante.
“I think it (against Roma) is a point worth getting. It’s a complicated situation, we came back into the game, even after the red card, so at the end of this season it could be an important point,” Ronaldo told Sky Sport Italia after the match is over.
“We are at the start of the season, there are new coaches, new ideas, but I see the team working well, enthusiastically, and I see a bright future for us. What we see is the team is happy to work with a smile.”
According to Squawka, Ronaldo’s two goals made him the first player in history to score 450 goals in Europe’s top leagues. This achievement was achieved with the head goal which is the hallmark of Ronaldo’s goal.
In addition, Opta added for the first time since 2014 Ronaldo scored in the first two league games. Ronaldo has done it three times in 2009, 2011 and 2014. Ronaldo’s form has been a great start for Juventus in their defense of the Scudetto.
