Cristiano Ronaldo became the first Juventus player ever to score in 10 consecutive Serie A matches when the Portuguese star found the net against Hellas Verona, but it wasn’t enough to stop his team falling to a shock defeat.
Ronaldo, who turned 35 last week, latched onto a Rodrigo Bentancur through-ball in the 65th minute, racing up the pitch and shrugging off the attentions of Amir Rrahmani before shooting low into the net.
The strike gave Juventus the lead and also made Ronaldo the first player for the club to score in 10 league games in a row, moving ahead of the nine-game sequence of former French star David Trezeguet.
