Cristiano Ronaldo and one more day at the office: New record in Italy

Another day at the office for Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese, Juventus forward, has been proclaimed the best player in the Italian Serie A in the 2019/2020 season during the Gran Gala del Calcio, organized by the Association of Italian Footballers. The former Real Madrid player contributed 31 goals to the Turin team's ninth consecutive title.

"It was a strange year, a year that nobody would have wanted, but on a personal and team level, it was positive, because we won the championship", Ronaldo told Sky Sport Italia. "At first it was difficult to play in empty stadiums, but our goal was to win the championship and we did it. We were out in the Champions League, but that's how football is”, he added.

The Portuguese forward's sensational goal against Sampdoria in December 2019 was also voted Goal of the Season. "It was my best goal, I'm very sure," Ronaldo assured. “I want to thank my teammates, because without them it would not have been possible to receive this award. Thanks to the players who voted for me, I feel very lucky. I believe that confidence, perseverance and passion are the secret to continue enjoying football. I feel motivated, otherwise it is not possible to play at this level when you are 35, 36, 37 or 40 years old". confessed the Portuguese forward.

The truth is that Cristiano Ronaldo's numbers at Juventus make it clear that his time in Turin was not a failure as discussed. It is true, the debt of reaching the furthest reaches of the UEFA Champions League is still pending, but without doubts personally, the former Real Madrid confirms every weekend why he is one of the best players in history.
