#1 Cristiano Ronaldo

Ronaldo got his second goal of the season

As far as individual performances go, the game against Hellas Verona was not anything exceptional by Ronaldo's extremely high standards, but as expected, he still stepped up to the plate when needed the most.

The 34-year-old was a bit shot crazy in the game shooting at goal an unbelievable 10 times, but rather jarringly, just one of those was on target.

He also made three key passes in the game and completed a modest 70.6% of his attempted 34 passes.

His most important contribution, however, came in the 48th minute, as with the scores tied at 1-1 and very firmly in the balance, Juventus were handed a lifeline when the referee pointed to the spot.

With ice cool nerves, Ronaldo stepped up to take responsibility and put the ball into the back of the net for his second goal of the season to give Juventus all three points.
