Fans of the Bianconeri have flooded club stores to purchase their own replica number 7 Ronaldo jerseys, with the club announcing that it sold half a million shirts in 24 hours (which was enough to foot half of the transfer bill). Ronaldo was only officially unveiled on Monday, but the club has already made huge gains on their record transfer. There were reports that the club's market value increased, with stocks rising after speculation linking Juventus with Ronaldo emerged.

Ronaldo is a marketing juggernaut and by having him in their ranks, Juventus are bound to reap huge financial gains. His high social media followership and exposure means that brands will always approach the Portuguese for endorsements to the benefit of Juventus.

The Old Lady are almost guaranteed to win the Italian Serie A without the Madeira native, having won the last seven titles consecutively. It is in the Champions League where their attentions lie as the Italians have become something of nearly men there in recent seasons, , losing two finals in the last four years (one thanks to a Ronaldo brace) and have not lifted Europe's premier competition for 21 years.

With Ronaldo, however, they have signed a genuine game changer who has a track record of stepping up when it really matters. He is a man for the big occasions, more so in the Champions League, where Ronaldo turns into a super human and has the stats to show.

He is the record top scorer in the competition with 120 goals, the joint top scorer in the group stages (tied on 60 with Messi), has the most knockout goals in UCL history (60), set the record for most goals in a single campaign in 2014 (17), and is the only player to have reached double figures in 7 consecutive seasons. Interestingly, Ronaldo is the only player to have scored 15 goals in a single Champions League campaign and remarkably, he has done this on three different occasions.

It is for these reasons that he earned himself the moniker 'Mr Champions League' as Juventus know too well (they are the team he has scored most against in the Champions League) and the club will be happy to have him in their ranks as they will have a genuine shot at ending their 21-year-wait for the 'Big Ears'.
