Ronaldo: What Next?
Juventus have moved up to second in Serie A but still trail Milan by a point. The Rossoneri have a game in hand. They must continue to hunt first place.
Meanwhile, they travel to Ferencvaros in the Champions League in midweek, and a victory would likely secure their place in the last 16. Ronaldo will hope to add to his prodigious tally of European goals in that clash.
