#3 Ronaldo's goal drought with Juventus while Messi's sublime form

Valencia v Juventus - UEFA Champions League Group H

Juventus had bought Ronaldo from Real Madrid with the sole purpose of concentrating on the Champions League and bring home the ultimate glory for the Old Lady of Turin. The fans of Serie A had hoped that Ronaldo would set the domestic league on fire as well and continue his scoring record in Italy as well. The doubters created an unnecessary hype on this as well completely ignorant of the fact that the Serie A is a tough league where the teams who are average and bottom-placed are very well organized defensively and will go out and give their all against a team like Juventus. Ronaldo, with all the pedigree that he brings in terms of goals scored over the years, needed some time to adjust in the Serie A.

Ronaldo did score this week against a strong Sassuolo side to prove the doubters wrong. Messi, on the other hand, has had 4 goals and 2 assists already in the LaLiga and has started this season on a strong note. This will continue to be a source of debate throughout this season as it progresses.
