Shortly into the second-half Cristiano Ronaldo was again involved in a goal. The Portuguese’s fine ball in behind the defence allowed Federico Chiesa free in on goal, and he calmly slots past the goalkeeper’s left.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s historic goal to surpass Pele was rather similar to that of Chiesa, although it was Bentancur who slotted the ball through, and Ronaldo did his own running to get inside the box into the space, but his effort was also slotted past the keeper’s left.

But even with the victory assured and the minutes on the clock ticking down, Juventus army refused to stop. Striker Paulo Dybala ran through the middle of the two defenders onto a sweet ball to find himself one-on-one with the keeper, and finished the game in a very impressive way.
Talking about Ronaldo’s new record, Lionel Messi could still be the person to challenge Ronaldo, after he surpass Pele’s one club record at the end of 2020, with 644 goals now scored for Barcelona.
Messi’s all time total is 715 for club and country, however, at two years younger than Ronaldo, he could yet overtake him before retirement.
