Chritano Ronaldo leaving the pitch all smiles after the match
Christiano Ronaldo has won his first Serie A title since joining Juventus.
The Italian club thrashed their opponent Fiorentina 2-1 to secure an eighth consecutive Serie A title on Saturday night.
Speaking after the title-sealing victory,
CR7 said:
‘I’m really happy that I have won the Italian title in my first season. ‘Of course, it did not go well in the Champions League, but there is always next year.’
Massimiliano Allegri’s side fell behind to Nikola Milenkovic’s early opener but equalised shortly before half-time through Alex Sandro.
The home side sealed victory after the break when Fiorentina’s German Pezzella flicked Ronaldo’s cross into the back of his own net.
The Portugal international striker, who joined the Bianconeri from Real Madrid in the summer, also made a history as the first man to win league titles in England, Spain and Italy on Saturday after his team wrapped up the Scudetto.
Ronaldo was signed to bring Champions League glory to Juventus, who haven’t won Europe’s top club competition since 1996.
They came up short again in this year’s edition, losing to Ajax in the quarter-finals on Tuesday.
