Can Cristiano Ronaldo rejuvenate title-chasing Juventus in Verona?
Continuing his dominance in the race for the Serie A golden boot, Cristiano Ronaldo will turn his attentions to Hellas Verona this weekend as he looks to inspire another crucial victory for Juventus.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored a brace of headers on Monday night to help Juventus bounce back from a Champions League nightmare at the Estadio do Dragao against Porto last week, as the reigning Serie A champions brushed aside a struggling Crotone side, 3-0 in Turin.
Two first-half goals from the Portuguese talisman gave Andrea Pirlo's side a 2-0 advantage at half-time - as they cruised to a comfortable victory - taking his tally of career headed goals to an astounding 133.
Despite this, however, any side with the driving force of football's greatest ever goalscorer behind them, are never truly down and out.
