Cristiano Ronaldo has been in scintillating form for Juventus this year. He is the top scorer this year with 13 goals.
Juventus will host Inter Milan behind closed doors at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday. The match will be played without fans after the decision made by the Italian government.
The Portuguese superstar will makes his 1,000th appearance for club and country and he will be looking to increase his tally of 725 career goals.
The Inter clash will be a big game for Ronaldo and Sarri is hoping the 35-year-old can mark the milestone in style.
The Italian boss wants nothing but a win and hopes the Juventus squad can secure a win as a ‘gift’ for Ronaldo.

“He is an active player, and so not much thinking is needed,” Sarri told the club’s website, with the five-time Ballon d’Or winner now back in training after returning home to Portugal visit his mother.
“This is a great achievement, but he must immediately chase after new goals. But we know Cristiano and we know that he will be like that. It is a cue for his team-mates to give him a gift.”
Ronaldo will hope to continue his individual brilliance this season, scoring 21 league goals in as many games and is Juventus’ top-scorer so far.
