CRISTIANO RONALDO started where his record-breaking final season ended with Juventus’ 3-0 win over Sampdoria in manager Andrea Pirlo’s first game.
And it was Aaron Ramsey who put forward Ronaldo’s late goal, suggesting that the Arsenal legend may make up for his uneven Serie A debut campaign.

Former Atalanta winger Dejan Kulusevski made his debut early on.
But Claudio Ranieri’s Sampdoria held up well for the remainder of the first period and created reasonable chances after the break.
However, all that changed once Leonardo Bonucci doubled the champions’ lead in the 78th minute, and pounced on a rebound when Weston McKennie’s shot was stopped.
Ronaldo’s strong finish made up for it after hitting the crossbar earlier when the home team impressed in their first match since Maurizio Sarri was sacked as coach in August.
Sampdoria can feel a bit difficult from losing so much.
But they had no one in front of the goal like Ronaldo.

The 35-year-old former Real Madrid and Manchester United leader ended the last legislature with Juve’s highest individual record in a season: 37 goals.
And along the way, he hit 50 Serie A hits faster than any previous player, needing just 61 games.
This time, their match-sealer against Sampdoria rewarded Juventus’ dominance after they jumped the line in the title race last month.
