Juventus vs Inter Milan: 5 men who were brilliant for Juventus

#1 Cristiano Ronaldo

Ronaldo scored from a free-kick to draw Juventus level

The Portuguese continued on the left side of the attack, a position that is earmarked for him in the Juventus team. Ronaldo was quite decent in the defeat against Tottenham, but he was lacking match fitness, as is normally the case in pre-season games. However, the Portuguese still managed to score a goal against Spurs, highlighting his importance to this Juventus team.

Against Inter too, Ronaldo was the main attacking threat at the beginning of the first half, driving at the opposition defense and trying to take them on his own. He was full of tricks and flicks but still seemed to lack the little spark that sets him apart from others. Despite that, a moment of magic from the Portuguese was still enough to help Juventus make a comeback into the game.

And so, when Juventus won a free-kick near the box in the 68th minute, up stepped Ronaldo. His free-kick got a lucky deflection off the Inter wall and sailed into the far corner. Juventus were level! He also converted his penalty kick during the tiebreaker and helped Sarri register his first win as the Juventus manager.
