#2 The Ronaldo-Mandzukic tandem is Juventus' trump card
Ever since Cristiano Ronaldo left Real Madrid, we thought about one thing? Will he ever find a good strike partner at Juventus. Albeit, he struggled in the initial phase at Juventus, he slowly integrated into the team and is now their top goalscorer.

In the process, Ronaldo found a strike partner in the Croatian, Mario Mandzukic. Ronaldo and Mandzukic account for more than 50% of the goals for Juventus in Serie A. They have 15 goals and 7 assists amongst themselves in the league. Moreover, both of them also assist each other for scoring.
Against Napoli, it was Ronaldo assisting Mandzukic and the Croatian returned the favor in the game against Udinese. Both of them scored in the wins against SPAL and AC Milan. Against Valencia yesterday, they linked well again. Ronaldo created an early scoring chance for Mandzukic which was wasted. But ultimately it was those two combining again in the second half to give Juventus the lead.
Both Ronaldo and Mandzukic seems to understand each other well. When Ronaldo is near the edge of the box Mandzukic has himself ready to receive the pass. When Mandzukic is running through the middle, Ronaldo overlaps to receive the pass. This strike partnership could do wonders for Juventus.
