Just a day after his 36th Birthday, Cristiano Ronaldo gifted himself with the best possible present on Saturday at Juventus’ Stadium. 

Cristiano Ronaldo decided to extend his 36th birthday celebrations against AS Roma by scoring the opening goal at Juventus Stadium. It happened early in the first half with a precise shot near the low post after an assist from Alvaro Morata. With this goal, Cristiano Ronaldo is helping his side win this complicated game against a powerful AS Roma side. If the Bianconeri win tonight, they will take over the tournament’s third-place by overtaking the club from the Italian capital.

So, you can say this is definitely a crunch match for both sides. Cristiano Ronaldo is responding well to the pressure of playing against one of the tournament’s title contenders this season. After the 20th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo sent one of his potent shots to the crossbar but the ball didn’t want to get inside. It seemed like a fun night for the star and Juventus as well. 

CR-300 does it again. 

In another milestone he got this evening, Cristiano Ronaldo reached his 300th goal as a professional since he got past the age of 30. With this record, the Portuguese legend leads the way of a new generation of veteran players who are performing at the top of their game during the alleged final years of their careers.

Other stars such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic or Robert Lewandowski are part of this prestigious group. However, none of them are as prolific as Cristiano Ronaldo. He is simply the most impressive goal-scorer any of us will ever see. There is no other player like him in present day. We will obviously keep you posted if we get to experience another goal from Ronaldo against Roma tonight.
