'Ronaldo man of the year': Italian newspapers respond to CR7 and Juventus records

30 dic 2018

Yesterday Serie A closed its doors for the 2018 year and it was a year to remember for fans of the Italian league, especially for those cheering for Juventus, who celebrated the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo at the club as well as a record run of their team in the league.

"Ronaldo? He is the man of the year," Tuttosport wrote on their front page which was dedicated totally to CR7, who reached a remarkable tally of 49 goals during the calendar year, second to only Messi with 51.

Meanwhile, Gazzetta dello Sport pointed out Juventus' amazing record in Serie A, as the Bianconeri have collected 101 points in the calendar year and 53 of these in the first round of the current campaign. The numbers and form indicate that the team led by Cristiano Ronaldo is set to celebrate yet another title at the end of the season, perhaps even several weeks in advance.
