"We knew it wasn't going to be easy, but we deserved to win, we played well. Our goal has been concretized, we can put pressure on Lazio. My goal? I was waiting to score on a free-kick, I'm happy, but it's important to win regardless of who scores. We are improving as a team, that's what matters," the club's official website quoted Ronaldo as saying.
Since joining the Italian giants in 2018, Ronaldo had not managed to score on a free-kick, until now. It took Ronaldo 43 attempts to end the long drought for Juventus.
Ronaldo helped his side secure a 4-1 win over Torino in the ongoing Serie A here on Saturday. Also, the Portuguese became the first player in 60 years to net 25 goals for Juventus in a single Serie A season.
