Cristiano Ronaldo missed Juventus’ recent UEFA Champions League match against Barcelona due to a positive coronavirus test, but that didn’t stop the La Liga side’s social media team from taking a jab at him.

After Barca got a 2:0 win in Turin, the club’s social media page sent out a tweet reading: “We are glad you were able to see the real goat (emoji) on your pitch @juventusfcen!,” while attaching a picture of Lionel Messi.

This was an obvious joke at Ronaldo’s expense, considering he is Lionel Messi’s greatest rival for the title of greatest of all time AKA “GOAT.”

But, Barca sure didn’t expect an equally effective comeback.

Juventus quickly responded by tweeting: “You probably looked it up in the wrong dictionary. We’ll bring you the right one at Camp Nou.”

This certainly entertained the social media users and sparked the Ronaldo vs. Messi debate that died out a bit since the Portuguese superstar left Real Madrid. It is hard to believe that the debate will ever be settled since both players have great credentials, but at least we can enjoy the process.

Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo continues to make his case for being the greatest player of all time.

Ronaldo scored both goals in Juventus’ recent 2-1 win over Lazio, which marked his 50th goals in Seria A. This means that the 35-year-old forward is now the only player in the history of the game to score 50 goals in English Premier League, Spanish La Liga, and Italian Seria A.

He now has 30 goals for the season, enough to equalize himself at the top of Serie A’s leading goalscorers for 2019/20 with Lazio’s Ciro Immobile. 

“Records are always important, but what matters is the team,” Ronaldo said after the game. “We are doing phenomenal work, and the important thing is to end like this, to win—the records come from a natural process, but what matters is to bring home the league title.”

Ronaldo scored 65 goals in all competitions since joining Juventus in 2018.  He recently became the first Juventus player since 1959/60 to score 26 goals or more in a single Serie A campaign.

Juve’s win against Lazio was their first in four games and helped the team to increase their lead at the top of Seria A table. They now have eight more than second-placed Inter Milan with four games left to be played.

Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo added another achievement to his illustrious career over the weekend. By scoring in Juventus’ 4-1 win over Torino, Ronaldo got to 25 goals in Seria A this season and became the first Juve player to do so in 60 years.

Despite Juve having some world-class attackers in recent decades, such as Alessandro Del Piero, Roberto Baggio, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, neither of them ever managed to top the 25 goals mark in the domestic competition. Before Ronaldo, the latest one to do so is club legend Omar Sivori, whose 25 goals during the 1960/61 season helped Juve clinch Seria A title.

It appears that Ronaldo’s goals will help Juve win the title this season as well, considering the win over Torino almost secured them the trophy. They find themselves at the top of Seria A table with 75 points, which is seven more than their closest followers Lazio.

Cristiano Ronaldo had another minor achievement over the weekend, as his goal came from a direct free-kick. This was his first free-kick goal since he came to Juventus last season, and also his first after 42 unsuccessful attempts.

Ronaldo will now look to add to his goal tally, as he chases Lazio’s Ciro Immobile (29 goals) for Capocannoniere title in 2019/20. Besides 25 goals in Seria A, the 35-year-old forward also scored four more goals in other competitions.
