Cristiano Ronaldo helps train Novak Djokovic in the gym
Cristiano Ronaldo has sent a message to Juventus fans after his goal against SPAL on Saturday. The Portugal international equalled Gabriel Batistuta’s Serie A goalscoring record, finding the net for the 11th game on the trot.
Ronaldo’s goal helped Juventus boost their chances of Serie A glory, with the Old Lady currently ahead of fellow title rivals Lazio and Inter Milan in the race for the league title.
The 25-year-old opened the scoring in the 39th minute, with Aaron Ramsey then doubling Juve’s lead.
SPAL got a consolation through Andrea Petagna, who scored from the penalty spot in the 69th minute.
And, after the game, Ronaldo took to social media to send a message to Juventus supporters.

Ronaldo won two La Liga crowns during his time at the Bernabeu - as well as four Champions League titles.
And he has won two trophies with Juventus since signing from Real back in the summer of 2018.
Ronaldo will now turn his attentions to the Old Lady’s upcoming Champions League clash with Lyon on Wednesday.
And, speaking ahead of that game, Maurizio Sarri admitted he was targeting the prize.
“Our objective must be the Scudetto and the Champions League a dream,” he said.
