The former Real Madrid star clinched his first title in Italy as Juventus claim the Super Cup in a 1-0 victory over rivals AC Milan. The Portuguese forward provided the winner with a fine header past Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma just after the hour.
The victory makes Juventus become the first SerieA team to win eight Supercoppa titles. The Forward who joined Juve in the summer of 2018 in a record deal of €112 million from Real Madrid is also aiming to win other titles with the Italian giants.
Juventus are looking on adding three further titles to its illustrious cabinet this season, with Serie A crown on the agenda, the Coppa Italia and Champions League trophy. Juve could have won by a more comfortable scoreline with Douglas Costa and Joao Cancelo having decent chances, while the Bianconeri twice correctly had goals ruled out for offside before Franck Kessie was deservedly sent off for Gennaro Gattuso’s side.
Milan, who named Gonzalo Higuain among the substitutes amid rumours of a move to Chelsea, hit the crossbar through Patrick Cutrone, but that was as close as they came to denying Ronaldo the chance to celebrate his first piece of silverware as a Juve player.
