Cristiano Ronaldo scores for SECOND time for Juventus
Ronaldo moved to Juventus from Real Madrid for £88million earlier this summer after nine years at the Bernabeu.
He is set to make his competitive debut against Chievo on Saturday after pulling on the famous black and white stripes for the first time in a friendly against Juventus B last weekend.
Ronaldo, 33, signed a four-year deal in Turin as he looks to help the Old Lady to more success.
Juventus have won Serie A for each of the past seven years, though haven’t tasted victory in the Champions League since 1996.
Ronaldo has won the European Cup for the past three years with Real Madrid, starring in every campaign.
And now the Portugal star has sent out a warning to Serie A and beyond ahead of his Juve debut.
“I am going to prove that I am a top player,” said Ronaldo.
“I am very ambitious and I like challenges.”

Ronaldo moved to Juventus a few months after netting a stunning overhead kick in Turin in the Champions League, earning a standing ovation from the home crowd.
And the former Manchester United star recently revealed that the reception he got for his brilliant goal in April was a factor in deciding to move to Italy.
“I felt surprised at the beginning,” Ronaldo said in an interview with JuventusTV.
“I am used to following Juve and I like the club, but since that moment I liked them even more.

“I won't say it was the key point in my decision, but every detail helps. Maybe. Of course, it helps when you see the people like you, the supporters and club like you, the feeling is completely different.
“Unbelievable. I remember every day, that never happened to me before. In the Champions League against Juve, a quarter-final, you score a goal and see everyone in the stadium applaud you. It was an unbelievable feeling.
"I don't have a precise moment when I decided [to join]. During the years, we played a few times against Juve and I had a special feeling that the Italian supporters like Cristiano."
