3 reasons why Cristiano Ronaldo could lead Juventus to Champions League triumph this season

#1 His Legacy

Ronaldo has his legacy to protect

Ronaldo always leaves his footprint everywhere he goes - doing incredible things and setting records that will keep his name in memories for a long time. He did it while at Manchester United and then replicated the act during his days as a Real Madrid player.

It's an open secret that the main assignment the Portuguese has at the Allianz Stadium is to help Juve return to the summit of European football. It's a task he is more than willing to fulfill, especially given that it would give critics the chance to underestimate his exploits if he fails to get the job done.

Ronaldo's obsession to protect his legacy and his desire to succeed always could help Juventus to land their long-awaited Champions League crown this season. When the Portuguese sets a target, he doesn't give up until he gets there. We saw as he fought against all the odds to make sure he tied with Lionel Messi at five Ballon d'Or counts in 2017. We could be in for another genius act from the never-tiring icon.

If he manages to inspire the Bianconeri to UCL triumph this term, he would match Clarence Seedorf's record of winning the European crown with three different clubs. Should he find the back of the net in the final, he would be the only player to score in four Champions League finals and there is a lot more he could even achieve.

It's a well-known fact that Ronaldo is a man for the records. There's no bigger motivation for the Juventus talisman than to further strengthen his stand among the legends of the game with fantastic records on the most iconic stage in club football. This year seems the year the winger could achieve his mission in Turin. Let's wait and see how it unfolds.
