Since leaving Manchester United in 2009, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored goals for fun. Contributing with a staggering 450 total strikes for Real Madrid, the forward has also found the back of the net 30 times for Juventus already, but last Saturday he displayed a quality that is often overlooked.
A little background knowledge into the goings-on at Juve over the last year reveals that former Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri was brought in to replace Max Allegri in the summer. The latter man delivered five consecutive league titles and four Coppa Italia trophies, however it had become clear that this side needed more than the stability he brought and needed a fresh approach in order to progress in Europe.
