It has to be him, the Champions League's most prolific goal scorer, Cristiano Ronaldo, is now a Juventus player.

Ronaldo has won 5 UEFA Champions Leagues in his glittery career, including three consecutive title wins with Real Madrid in the past three years, and four of the last five.

Ronaldo is one of the most consistent goalscorers in the history of football and the Champions League is his favourite competition. He has won the UEFA Men's Player of the Year award a record 4 times along with topping the goalscorer of the season chart 7 times.

Cristiano has broken Juve's Champions League dream twice in the last two years, hence they knew exactly what Ronaldo could provide them. And now just four months into this season, Ronaldo already looks settled at Juventus and he could provide the Old Lady with that cutting edge that they were missing for years now.
