Ronaldo scored two vital goals for Juve in January
Anybody else would be happy to find a berth in the top 10. But not Cristiano Ronaldo. However, January hasn't been that kind to him and if things don't change, he runs the risk of getting left behind.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored only 2 goals from 4 games in January but it's the timing and importance of those goals that really set them apart. He scored the lone goal of the game against AC Milan and then scored the winner in the 88th minute against Lazio.
His Serie A record, however, still looks ridiculously good. He has 15 goals and 5 assists to his name from 21 appearances and continues to inspire those around him with his fitness and desire to improve. With the Champions League knockout stages now approaching, Juventus will hope that Ronaldo can do even better and go the distance with them.
