Ronaldo celebrates 100th Juventus match with brace
Portuguese star, Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated his 100th game for Juventus with a brace as the Old Lady beat Genoa.
After a goalless first half, Argentine star Paulo Dybala put the away team ahead in the 57th minute but his opener was cancelled by Stefano Sturaro’s leveller four minutes later.
Ronaldo, however, made the best of the situation by stealing the show in the space of ten minute as he bagged a brace from two penalty kicks in the 79th and 89th minutes respectively.
Ronaldo who scored two spot kicks as Andre Pirlo’s side thump Barcelona 3-0 at the Camp Nou in the Champions League on Tuesday took to Twitter to celebrate the achievement.
The former Real Madrid and Manchester United star revealed that he has his mind set on scoring 100 goals for Juve.
He tweeted: “What better way to celebrate my 100th game for Juventus, than scoring two more goals for the team? I’m very proud of reaching this number with the Vecchia Signora jersey, but guess what: I also have my mind already set on the 100 goals for Juve. Fino Alla Fine!”
