CR770. This is your day again. The hat-trick with which Cristiano Ronaldo closed the Cagliari case in half an hour. Actually, there was not only time for the exaltation of his reaction to the Champions League flop: perhaps it could have been red for the foul on Cragno, the more or less controversial jubilation could have been avoided, even the way he flaunted his refusal to give hot interviews was not the best. Also because the three goals scored against Cagliari do not bring the Scudetto closer or make Juve go back a few days, avoiding the failure in the Champions League of which Ronaldo remains one of the main culprits. But the three goals scored against Cagliari help clear things up, Ronaldo is always Ronaldo. And the numbers speak of a player who cannot be a problem: 23 league goals, 30 this season, 95 with the Juve jersey, 770 in his career. Yes, 770.

SOCIAL ENVELOPE. These are just some of the numbers of an incredible champion, aware of having disappointed in the Champions League but at the same time disappointed by all the criticism that has rained down on him, as if half of the football world expected nothing more. He launched his messages on the field, they say. And at least in part it is true. Others have given them to social networks: “Always together, until the end,” he writes thinking about Juve. To later proclaim himself the best scorer in history, although according to the statistical file this is a goal that has been crossed for a long time. Why Ronaldo has been waiting only now, he always explains through social networks, addressing directly to those who have been overcome: Pelé. “The last few weeks have been full of news and statistics that consider me the best world scorer in the history of football, surpassing the 757 official goals of Pelé. While I am grateful for that recognition, now is the time to explain why I have not recognized that record until now. My eternal and unconditional admiration for Mr. Edson Arantes do Nascimento, as well as the respect I have for mid-20th century football, led me to consider his score of 767, assuming his 9 goals for São Paulo. their only objective for the Brazilian military team, as official objectives. The world has changed since then and football has changed too, but that doesn’t mean that we can simply erase history according to our interests. Today, when I reach the official milestone of 770 goals in my professional career, my first words go straight to Pelé. There is no player in the world who has not grown up listening to stories about his games, his goals and his successes, and I am no exception. And so it fills me with joy and pride when I recognize the goal that put me at the top of the world goal list, breaking Pelé’s record, something I could never dream of growing up as a Madeira kid. Thank you to everyone who participated in this incredible journey with me. To my teammates, to my opponents, to the fans of the beautiful game around the world, and most of all, to my family and close friends, believe me when I tell you that I couldn’t have done it without you. Now I can’t wait for the next challenges! The next records and trophies! Believe me, this story is still far from over. The future is tomorrow and there is still a lot to win for Juventus and Portugal! Here we go!”.

AND NOW … There are thirteen games of the season at Juve, between the championship and the Italian Cup final. But it is the future that interests the people of Juventus more than the present. Ronaldo has not made a decision yet, it takes time and lucidity. Although the Champions League remains an increasingly open wound at Juve, whatever happens, the consciousness of having brought one of the strongest players in history to Italian football will remain. That in the afternoon of Cagliari he showed almost everything about himself: the braggart and the crystalline class, the anger and the hunger. In any case, the conviction of being number one today and always.
