The Portuguese’s trademark free kick in the Turin derby marked his 25 th goal of the campaign – remarkably, a tally which no one at Juventus had reached in almost six decades. Ronaldo is their first player to score 25 goals in a single Serie A season since 1961. Days after Lionel Messi scored his 700 th goal for club and country, Ronaldo notched No.729 of his career, albeit with a two-year head start. The 35-year-old also achieved the milestone of becoming the first player to score 25 goals in the same season in three different countries. Ronaldo got exactly 25 goals in his final season at Old Trafford before continuing his prolific scoring form during nine years with Real Madrid.
