Ronaldo has won the Champions League at every club he has represented since moving away from Sporting Lisbon in 2003.

He won it once with Manchester United in 2008 and four times with Real Madrid, including the three consecutive titles in 2016, 2017, and 2018.

The Portuguese, at 35, just won his second Serie A title, scoring 31 goals and shows no sign of letting up. Even though his speed on the ball has reduced, his goal scoring effectiveness remains as sharp as ever. But it has been a slow burner for Ronaldo in this season’s UCL because he has scored just two goals in seven UCL matches this season. But there is statistically no better player in UCL history, especially for scoring goals in the knockout stages.

Rested for the inconsequential last Serie A game, his manager, Maurizio Sarri, told UEFA’s official website, “He [Ronaldo] is training in the right manner. Yesterday he scored an excellent goal in training. He played many games in a short time, he rested a little, and now he has trained with intensity and strength.”

Juventus have not been impressive since the lockdown was lifted and looked to have limped across the finish line, needing Ronaldo’s 10 goals in eight matches to be crowned champions ahead of Inter Milan. Against France’s Olympique Lyonnais, they face a team with a bit of rust as the French team have played only four games since France’s Ligue 1 was stopped when Covid-19 struck in March.
