Juventus vs Cagliari – 3 talking points

#3 Ronaldo’s growing confidence

Remember those times when Ronaldo was struggling to make an impact for Juventus and people questioned whether he can survive in Serie A. Looks like all those questions have been answered by the man himself. Before this match, he had 7 goals and 4 assists to his name and he made another crucial goal contribution against Cagliari.

At stoppage time, he received the ball in the middle of the pitch and produced a breathtaking run to assist Cuadrado for Juve’s 3rd goal of the night. Throughout the match, he kept threatening to score a goal and almost scored one from a very awkward position inside the penalty box.

At 33, he is not the same physical force he once was but still not many in the world can match his pace in counterattacks. Also, compared to the 2017-18 season he has provided a lot more key passes and has contributed from both the wings. He is settling in nicely and if this form continues, he will surely score more than the 26 league goals he managed for Real Madrid in his final season.
