TURIN, Italy (Reuters) - Cristiano Ronaldo confessed that he was relieved to finally score from a free kick for Juventus on Saturday, after 42 failed attempts and nearly two years of trying.

The 35-year-old takes most of the Turin side's free kicks but, despite that, he had failed to score from one until his curling effort in the 4-1 win over Torino.Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri said he was surprised how much the problem had been bothering the five-times World Player of the Year.

Sarri said that Juventus appeared to think the game was easy after going 2-0 ahead in half an hour but then got"confused" when Torino pulled one back from a penalty in first-half stoppage time. He also praised Argentine playmaker Paulo Dybala who has found a new lease of life since the coronavirus stoppage.

"I've always told him what I think about how he should train and how he should play. And he tells me what he thinks."
