Juventus v US Sassuolo - Serie A
Mr. Champions League

Ronaldo transferred to Juventus during the last summer window in a reported €110m deal, and a lot of eyebrows were raised over spending such a huge amount on a 33-year-old.

However, Juventus very much knew what they were doing, as they were signing one of the greatest players in the history of the game, with a knack for delivering on the biggest stages.

Ronaldo is the Champions League record goalscorer with 120 goals, leading Real Madrid to success in each of the last three editions of the Champions League.

He has remarkably finished as UCL top scorer in the last six tournaments, and Juventus all too well know of his abilities, having been on the receiving end of his goalscoring prowess on 19 occasions.

There is a reason the Portuguese record goalscorer is called 'Mr Champions League', and has triumphed in the competition on five occasions, Ronaldo would seek to make it six, writing a new chapter in the epic which is his career in the process.

Ronaldo was signed primarily to win Juventus her third Champions League crown, and knowing Ronaldo and his propensity for achieving his goals, his sights would be set on delivering this target, and with Mr Champions League in their ranks, Juventus have a real shot at winning the UCL perhaps now more than ever.
