It’s the Ronaldo Day at the Allianz Stadium finally scoring with Juventus in the Serie A leading to the victory. Juventus is the only team winning their four games reaching full 12 points remaining as sole leaders. The magic of Cristiano Ronaldo shining at its best to delight the fans seeing him score and celebrating with his traditional SIIIIIUUUUUUUUUU …. Of course, I celebrated Ronaldo’s goals too, you bet, I did. Oh yeahhhhh!
The awaited moment for Cristiano Ronaldo arriving in the 50th minute to score his first goal as a Juventus player, a true Bianconero. The smell for that goal …. Here is the action, Sassuolo defender Gian Marco Ferrari head a Juventus corner directly to the left post with the ball rebound and guess who was waiting for the volley….. You got it… there he was, Cristiano Ronaldo in the area to smack from close range a right footed shot sending the ball to the center and immediately running to celebrate with his trademark jump and shouting SIIIIUUUUU while opening his arms…. Party was on at the Stadium with fans celebrating, applauding Critiano!
