Del Piero was the last Juventus player to finish as highest goalscorer

Ronaldo also has the weight of history against him, as despite their domestic dominance, no Juventus player has won the Capocannoniere in the last ten years, with club record goalscorer and legend Alessandro Del Piero the last player to win the award with his 21 goals in the 2007/2008 season, and David Trezeguet before him when he jointly won it with Dario Hubner in 2002.

Before David Trezeguet, you have to go back almost 20 years to 1985 when former UEFA President and Ballon d'Or winning midfielder Michel Platini still represented the club to find the last time a Juve player won the Serie A Golden Boot.

In essence, only three Juventus players have won the Italian league Golden Boot in over thirty years, and with that sort of history against him, the odds are stacked against the 33-year-old achieving this feat. However, knowing Ronaldo's propensity for defying the odds, don't bet against him using this as motivation to create history.
