WATCH: Cristiano Ronaldo took all of eight minutes to open his Juventus account

This might sound controversial, but we don't think it'll be the last time Ronaldo scores for Juventus this season

He always scores against Juventus…

Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first goal for Juventus today, albeit in the pre-season friendly, against a Juventus B team.

The Portuguese forward signed from Real Madrid this summer for a fee of around €100m after spending nine years in Spain.

His arrival at Juve has created an incrdible buzz of excitement around the club, with fans flocking to get an autograph before today’s friendly.

After he had finished with his autograph duty, Ronaldo put his game face on and only took eight minutes to score his first goal in black and white. He was played through on goal by Federico Bernadeschi and made no mistake in slotting the ball powerfully past the goalkeeper.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that it won’t be the last goal Ronaldo scores for Juventus.

After the game, fans at the game, who had come in their numbers to catch a glimpse of their new number 7, flooded onto the pitch. Ronaldo was mobbed as fans attempted to grab a selfie with him.
