Ronaldo Breaks Scoring Record as Juventus Clinches Serie A CrownRonaldo Breaks Scoring Record as Juventus Clinches Serie A Crown Cristiano Ronaldo etched his name into Italian football history on Saturday as he broke the Serie A single-season scoring record and led Juventus to its ninth consecutive league title. The Portuguese superstar surpassed the previous mark of 36 goals set by Gonzalo Higuaín in 2016 as he netted a penalty in Juventus’ 2-0 victory over Sampdoria at the Allianz Stadium. Ronaldo’s goal was his 37th of the season in just 32 appearances, a remarkable achievement that underscores his unparalleled scoring prowess. The win also secured Juventus’ ninth consecutive Serie A title, extending its record as the most dominant force in Italian football. The Old Lady has now won more league titles than any other team in the country’s history. Ronaldo’s record-breaking performance was a fitting end to a memorable season for him. The 35-year-old has been in sensational form ever since joining Juventus from Real Madrid in 2018, scoring goals at an astonishing rate and leading the team to two Serie A titles and a Coppa Italia trophy. His individual accolades include the Serie A Golden Boot, which he has won twice since arriving in Italy, and the UEFA Nations League title with Portugal. Ronaldo is now widely considered to be one of the greatest players in football history, and his latest achievement further cements his legacy as an all-time scoring legend. Juventus manager Maurizio Sarri praised Ronaldo after the match, saying, “He is a phenomenon. He is unstoppable in front of goal. He is a champion who always makes the difference.” Ronaldo, meanwhile, expressed his delight at breaking the scoring record and winning the league title. “It’s a special moment for me to break this record and to win the Scudetto with Juventus,” he said. “I am very proud of what I have achieved here.” Juventus will now turn its attention to the Champions League, where it faces Lyon in the round of 16 next month. The Old Lady will be hoping to add to its European trophy haul and complete a historic quadruple under Sarri.
