The Portuguese appears to be shining brighter under Sarri
Although Cristiano Ronaldo proved his class by scoring all the four goals the Bianconeri recorded in the knockout phase of the tournament, the club eventually fell short when they clashed with Ajax in the quarter-finals despite him finding the back of the net in both legs of the tie. The 2018-19 campaign wasn't as successful as hoped.

Fingers were largely pointed at the then manager, Massimiliano Allegri for his tactical failings that cost the team in Europe. This season though, former Chelsea head coach, Maurizio Sarri is in charge of affairs in Turin and it appears his tactics are finally getting the best out of Ronaldo.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has already bagged 24 goals for Juve across all competitions this season. He still has just two goals in the Champions League but that is no concern as the competition has already reached the stage where he shows his class and he will surely be banging in the goals in the coming weeks.
