Ronaldo hits mark early for Juventus

-

Cristiano Ronaldo made Juventus fans wait only eight minutes before scoring his first goal for the club in a traditiona­l pre-season friendly against the team’s B side on Sunday. Ten minutes later, he pressured Riccardo Capellini into an own-goal to make it 2-0 for the Bianconero, the name given to Juventus because of its famed white-and-black jersey. Ronaldo stunned Madrid fans last month when he joined Juventus for an Italian league record sum of $128 million. The 33-year-old Portugal internatio­nal will likely make his proper debut in Juve’s first league match of the season next Saturday at Chievo Verona.
