Video: Ronaldo honored by Juventus after reaching a historic milestone

The legendary Portuguese star was honored for his latest career milestone before helping Juventus win the Turin derby.

Juventus presented Cristiano Ronaldo with a special ‘Ronaldo, 750’ jersey before kick-off began in Saturday’s Turin derby against Torino.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner made history yet again last week by scoring his 750th career goal in the 3-0 Champions League win over Dynamo Kyiv. Only Pele (767 goals), Romario (772), and Josef Bican (805+) have achieved this.

So in light of this stunning accomplishment, Juventus paid tribute to their star player by presenting him with a special jersey and the Serie A’s MVP award for November.

The Bianconeri also released a special video of Ronaldo’s 75 goals for them on their YouTube channel last week to celebrate his latest career milestone.

Unfortunately, Ronaldo couldn’t cap off the occasion with another trademark goal on Saturday. Torino contained him well during the derby, limiting his opportunities to a bare minimum in Turin.

But while it wasn’t Cristiano’s night, he still helped Juventus grab an important 2-1 win following goals from Weston McKennie and Leonardo Bonucci.

Now Ronaldo, who has scored 10 goals in only nine games across all competitions this season, will prepare for Tuesday’s trip to face Barcelona in the Champions League.

Although Juventus boss Andrea Pirlo wasn’t too pleased with his side’s performance against Torino.

“In the first half, we didn’t manage to be aggressive,” the Juventus boss told Sky Sport Italia.

“We were too static and didn’t play with width. We went up a gear in the second half, injected intensity and created plenty of chances.

“The players who came on did well and showed their desire and dynamism. When you can’t get the scoreline you want through your play, you have to do so through your spirit and DNA.

“We have to improve and move the ball faster, otherwise we give our opposition too much time to get into their positions.”
