Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo was the standout performer for Juventus as they clinched a ninth successive Scudetto. Despite being 35-years-old, Ronaldo has remained focussed and has shown no signs of fading into irrelevance so far.

Now the former Real Madrid man has hinted at extending his Juventus stay. Several reports had claimed in between that Ronaldo might be looking for a new challenge after supposedly having run-ins with the manager Maurizio Sarri.

But now Ronaldo has seemingly put all such rumours to bed by posting a photo on Instagram where he says,

"Happy to win the last two of the nine consecutive Serie A titles for Juventus!

"It seems easy but it isn't! Year after year with talent, dedication and hard work you can achieve your goals and be better than before! Let's go for my third."
