Juventus cruised past Sampdoria beating them 3-0 in their opening match of the 2020/21 Serie A season.
Cristiano Ronaldo was once again the difference maker as he scored one and set up another to ensure a bright start for new boss Andrea Pirlo.
Juve hit the ground running early in the match courtesy of Ronaldo, whose surge towards the opposition box led to Dejan Kulusevski grabbing a debut opener inside the first thirteen minutes.
The Portuguese ace himself got on the scoresheet in the dying minutes of the match as he drilled the ball into the back of the net with a right-footed shot.
Here are some of Ronaldo’s statistics worth noting from the match:
