Cristiano Ronaldo has become the highest scoring Portuguese footballer in the Serie A following his goal against Bologna.
The 35-year-old netted his 22nd league goal of the season as the Old Lady coasted to a 2-0 win over Bologna on Monday.
The former Manchester United star neatly converted from the penalty to put Juve in front, before Paulo Dybala doubled the lead for Maurizio Sarri’s men.
Ronaldo’s goal saw him overtake Rui Costa to become the leading Portuguese scorer in Serie A history.
He has now netted 43 league goals since making a big money move from Real Madrid to Juventus.
