Cristiano Ronaldo breaks another goal-scoring record

Turin: Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo added yet another feather to his already illustrious cap as he has become the highest-scoring Portuguese player in Serie A history.

Ronaldo went past former Portuguese midfielder Rui Costa in this particular list following his penalty during Juventus' 2-0 victory over Bologna on Monday.

Ronaldo has now scored 43 goals in 54 SerieA matches since his transfer to the Turin-based club in 2018 from Spanish giants Real Madrid. Costa had scored 42 goals in 339 games during his stint with Fiorentina and Milan in Italy's top-flight between 1996 to 2004.

The record comes at a good time for Ronaldo as he was recently criticised following his indifferent performance in Juventus' Coppa Italia final defeat at the hands of Napoli.

Juventus manager Maurizio Sarri, however, said after Bologna clash that Ronaldo just needs time to get back to his best following the enforced break put forward by the coronavirus pandemic.
