The Portuguese failed to find the back of the net in his first three matches in Serie A, before finally breaking his duck with a brace against Sassuolo in September.

Since then, Ronaldo has been among the goals regularly in Italy, adding another two to his tally in his side’s 2-1 win over Genoa on Saturday.

Cristiano Ronaldo has now equalled a 60-year-old goalscoring record at Juventus

According to the Daily Mirror, the 33-year-old has now scored seven league goals in his first 10 matches for the Bianconeri, becoming only the second player to achieve that ratio at Juve since John Charles, who did so in the 1957/58 season.

Charles ended his debut campaign with the Italian giants with 28 strikes, a tally Ronaldo will be backing himself to better this season.

A host of top names came close to the same feat for Juve, but fell short of the mark, including Gonzalo Higuain, Carlos Tevez and Filippo Inzaghi, who all managed six strikes in their first 10 Serie A matches for the club.

Meanwhile, Alessandro Del Piero, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and David Trezeguet all scored five goals in their first 10 league outings for the Bianconeri.

The prestigious Golden Ball will be handed out by France Football on 3 December, and many believe there could be a new winner for the first time in 10 years, with Luka Modric having already picked up the UEFA Player of the Year and FIFA’s The Best Men’s Player awards this year.

Ronaldo and Messi have shared the Ballon d’Or between them since 2008, each winning it five times, and while the Portuguese forward dreams of beating Messi to lift his sixth Golden Ball, he does not count the Argentine among this year’s favourites.

“The same as usual, even if I don’t know if Messi will be on the podium this time,” he told France Football when asked about his favourites.

“So, let’s say Mohamed Salah, Luka Modric, Antoine Griezmann, Raphael Varane, Kylian Mbappe – the French in general because they are world champions.”

However, despite not choosing Messi as a favourite for this year’s Golden Ball, Ronaldo did praise the Argentine for reigning alongside him at the top of the game over the past 10 years, and questioned whether the current crop can be at the top as long.

“But I will wait and see if all these players are still at the top in 10 years, like Messi and I have done, and like we continue to do,” he added.

“Still there, on the podium, since more than 10 years.”

Ronaldo left Madrid as their all-time highest goalscorer to join the Serie A champions, Juventus last summer in a 100-million-euro deal. McManaman stated this after Madrid were defeated 5-1 by Barcelona in the El Clasico La Liga fixture played on Sunday.

Goals from Luiz Suarez (3), Philippe Coutinho (1) and Arturo Vidal (1) ensured victory for the Catalan club at the Camp Nou. Marcelo’s lone strike was not enough to get a point for the visitors.

McManaman said it was now necessary that the Santiago Bernabeu club must reinforce their squad in the January transfer window to turn things around.

McManaman reveals what Cristiano Ronaldo’s absence has done to Real Madrid

 “Everybody was surprised, weren’t they?” McManaman told Reuters on Monday.

“They took a long, long time to bring in new signings. They didn’t bring anyone to replace Cristiano.

“It was a big shock for everybody. Whether they could buy somebody of his quality, I don’t know.

“The fact that they didn’t bring anybody in and they did slow business in the centre forward area, it surprised everybody.”

McManaman added, “They probably need to refresh the team a bit more, to be very honest. They have kept the majority of the same team for the last couple of years.

“If you look at the age group of the Real Madrid players now, four or five of them are in the 30’s. It’s probably the time to start refreshing it and bring in more players and try and replicate the success.

“They have got a hard job on their hands. They are not playing well, the manager is under pressure and the team as well. They need to do something and need to do it quickly.”

Ronaldo’s fifth Serie A goal for Juventus was added to his 84 Premier League goals he scored for Manchester United and 311 in La Liga for Real Madrid.

Ronaldo scored the goal tapping in from close range after Genoa failed to clear their lines when Joao Cancelo‘s shot took an awkward deflection inside the box.

Ronaldo’s milestone puts him 10 goals above the second top scorer in Europe’s main leagues, Lionel Messi – who scored his 390th La Liga goal for Barcelona in their 4-2 win against Sevilla.

However, Juventus’ perfect start to the season came to an end in Turin on Saturday as Genoa earned a 1-1 draw and the visitors dropped the first points this season.

The hosts dominated most of the game having 21 shots but only three were on target – all from Ronaldo, who had 11 efforts in total in the first half of the game. The draw left the defending champions four points above second-placed Napoli who won 3-0 against Udinese later on Saturday.

They may have scored 10 times across their first three LaLiga Santander matches, but they have now failed to do so at all in their past three fixtures, away at Sevilla, at home against Atletico Madrid and away at CSKA Moscow.

Real suffered a shock 1-0 defeat away at CSKA Moscow in the Champions League on Tuesday

In fact, it’s not been 319 minutes since they hit the back of the net, which is over five hours.

In 2018/19, they’re only netting once every 52 minutes, quite a difference from the rate of once every 30 minutes set in 2011/12.

This is a clear evidence that the Madrid giants are missing Portuguese Super star Cristiano Ronaldo who scored 44 in 44 games last season.

The current Madrid’s trio which consists of Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale and Marco Asensio, together scored 44 goals just like the now Juventus Talisman came up with last season with Bale scoring 21 goals, Benzema 12 and Asensio 11.

The question that needs to be asked is whether or not this team will be able to win tight matches if they find it difficult to score.

The style that the team had under Zidane might have worked well but for Ceballos in particular, it was obvious that the French head coach preferred other players rather than him.

“During the regular season, I felt frustration and resentment towards Zidane,” he explained.

“During the regular season, I felt frustration and resentment towards Zidane.” Said Ceballos

“There was a moment in the season when both Kroos and Modric were injured but he opted to change the style of play to bring in others players instead. It burns you a little and hurts you. We were 15 points behind Barca and only had the Champions League to look forward to but I also did not enter those dynamics.”

Despite being overlooked last season, Ceballos remains positive for what the 2018-19 season can bring under new head coach,Julen Lopetegui.

“He is trying to impose his style, which is different from the one we had last year,” he stated.

“He wants a serious team who is ambitious with the ball. He likes to play with lots of possession and an attacking instinct.”

While the change in Real Madrid’s style of play is shifting, Ceballos made sure to reiterate that Lopetegui stands as a good replacement saying he is the “best coach we could have” after Zinedine Zidane’s departure.

Ceballos talking to Radio Marca

“Last year was not a good year for me, but as a footballer I have matured because of the situation,” he continued.

“My goal is to triumph at Real Madrid, as I have said, now I want to give back to the club.”

Ceballos also discussed how while he wants to develop at Real Madrid, he still feels a part of Real Betis, his former club which he left only a few years ago.

“Someday you will know the reality of why I left Betis and you will see I am not a bad guy,” he revealed.

“I watch all the matches and celebrate their goals as if I’m still on the pitch with the team. It happened to Sergio Ramos when he left Sevilla, he still asks how they are and supports them. Your first team is always in your veins and you become strung between the old and new.”

Eventually the topic in question turned to the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo and his recent comments in the press.

Ceballos told Radio MARCA that Real Madrid has, and will remain, a family like atmosphere for all players after Ronaldo’s words about Juve’s locker room.

“We have always been a family. I do not know if his words were addressed to Real Madrid directly but last year, there was no issues between us and him. He had a good atmosphere with the rest of his teammates,” said Ceballos.

“At Real Madrid that has always been great players, Cristiano is no longer here but the team is still working. Benzema, Asensio and Bale are stepping up and throwing the team on their backs. Cristiano’s 40 goals are gone but the top players can do it.”

According to Santos, Cristiano Ronaldo should have been crowned UEFA’s 2017-18 Player of the Year

Ronaldo scored 15 goals to lead Real Madrid to a third successive Champions League crown last season but the five-time Ballon d’Or winner lost out to former team-mate Modric.

Modric won the most votes from coaches and journalists as Ronaldo – who left Madrid for Italian champions Juventus in the off-season – opted to skip the Monaco ceremony last month.

Asked about the decision to overlook Portugal captain Ronaldo, Santos told reporters: “The vote for the best of FIFA is not mine. If it was mine, Ronaldo was the champion.

Modric won the most votes from coaches and journalists to take the award

“Ronaldo is the champion for me. And in second place, I’d put Modric. But the rest of votes come from the public, journalists, other coaches, there are many people, so the decision will be announced at the right date.

“There’s a previous list, as I’ve already said, Modric is a fantastic player, that’s why I’ve put him in second. But in this previous election, I think Cristiano should’ve been the winner for all he did at that period of time and specially at the Champions League.”

Santos will be without Ronaldo – who is yet to open his Juventus account – for Portugal’s Nations League match against Italy on September 10. It is Portugal’s first appearance since the World Cup, where the European champions suffered a last-16 exit to Uruguay in Sochi.

“Portugal is a national squad with Cristiano Ronaldo. He’s European champion, the best player in the world. So, Cristiano Ronaldo, such as Joao Moutinho and all the others, Andre Gomes etc, I won’t name them all, they are all very important in this team,” Santos added.

“They achieved an extraordinary triumph for Portugal, they made history. A group of players that have played here and only lost twice, so there’s no with or without Ronaldo. And Ronaldo will be in conditions to play with us for a long time.”

Cristiano Ronaldo is the highest-paid player in Serie A and earns three times more than anyone else in Italy‘s top-flight, according to a report published by Gazzetta dello Sport. The Portuguese star has been the big talking point in Italy since his €100m (£88m/$117m) move to the Bianconeri in the summer.

Cristiano Ronaldo earns the most in Serie A

Juve have a perfect record after their first three games of the season, but Ronaldo is yet to score a goal for his new team and has attracted criticism for his failure to find the net thus far.

Gonzalo Higuain is the second highest earner

Despite his failure to score, it comes as no surprise that Ronaldo is top of the rankings when it comes to earnings, but the wage gap between the Juventus star and the rest of the league is quite astonishing.

Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport have revealed the wages of all Serie A players, with the 33-year-old taking home far more than any of his team-mates or rivals. Ronaldo is earning an incredible €31 million (£28m/$36m) per season in Turin and is on a four-year deal with the reigning Serie A champions.

Paulo Dybala is the next highest earner after Higuain

Not only is the five-time Ballon d’Or and Champions League winner by far the biggest earner in the league, but he earns more than three times as much as anyone else.

Gonzalo Higuain, who joined AC Milan from Juve after Ronaldo arrived in Turin, is the next best paid, raking in €9.5 million (£9m/$11m) per season.

Biggest earners in Serie A

• €31m Cristiano Ronaldo, Juventus
• €9.5m Gonzalo Higuain, AC Milan
• €7m Paulo Dybala, Juventus
• €6.5 Miralem Pjanic, Juventus
• €6m Douglas Costa, Juventus
• €6m Ginaluigi Donnarumma, AC Milan
• €5.5m Leonardo Bonucci, Juventus
• €5m Emre Can, Juventus

He said: “Usually players of my age go to Qatar or China, with all due respect, so coming to such an important and outstanding club at this point of my career makes me very happy.”

“I really want to show I’m not like the others, I’m different, it’s a very emotional moment for me and the club because I’m not 23, I’m 33.”

Ronaldo returned to Juventus at the end of July to meet his new team-mates and begin training. He had been given a bit of extra time off to recover after his World Cup campaign with Portugal, where they were beaten by Uruguay in the last-16.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner was yesterday pictured shopping with Georgina, 24, in Milan as the pair get used to life in Italy. Ronaldo seems to have no regrets about leaving Real Madrid – after unfollowing the club on Instagram.
