In measuring Cristiano Ronaldo's success at Juventus, the collective achievements of the Turin-based squad, uniquely and exclusively the UEFA Champions League, a competition Ronaldo owns in his career, whether it was with Manchester United or Real Madrid, will take the more significant part.

The UEFA Champions League in the 2018/19 season represents a big challenge for Cristiano and his new club. Juventus have not won the UCL since 1996 and has lost its last five finals in a row, one at the hands of Ronaldo's Real Madrid in 2017.

CR7 is the right man for the job since he is the only player in the Champions League era to win the competition five times (second all time, behind Gento's six European Cup titl with Real Madrid in the 60s).

Winning the UCL with Juve in 2019 at Wand Metropolitano, in Madrid, would make Ronaldo only the second player ever (European Cup or Champions League) to win the crown with three different teams (Dutch Clarence Seedorf did it four times with three clubs, Ajax, Real Madrid, and AC Milan).

Also, Ronaldo would be the fifth player to win UCL championships in consecutive years and with different clubs, after Marcel Desailly (Marseille in 1993 and AC Milan in 1994), Paulo Sousa (Juventus in 1996 and Borussia Dortmund in 1997), Gerard Piqué (Manchester United in 2008 and Barcelona in 2009), and Samuel Eto'o (Barcelona in 2009 and Internazionale in 2010).
