Cristiano Ronaldo is eyeing more records as Juventus head for Udinese on Thursday with a ninth consecutive Serie A title within their grasp.

Ronaldo scored a double on Monday against Lazio to bring his tally to 51 Serie A goals since arriving in Turin in July 2018.

Another goal would see him match former Italy World Cup winner Felice Borel, who was the last player to score 31 goals for Juventus in the 1933-34 season. There is also the record of Argentine teammate Gonzalo Higuain, who was Serie A top scorer under Sarri at Napoli in the 2015-16 season with 36 goals."Not only physically, but, above all, mentally: he is a champion with his feet, but also with his head.""Very important victory! We're almost there guys! Let's go," Ronaldo wrote on Instagram after the Lazio game.

It would allow them to start preparing for the Champions League, and overturning a 1-0 first-leg deficit against French club Lyon in the last 16 next month. "It's great that we've achieved this goal," continued Conte,"it was one of the club's main requests, to improve our results compared to previous seasons and to steady the ship so that things aren't so hectic at the end of the season."
