CRISTIANO RONALDO only needed THREE MINUTES to score for Juventus after recovering from the coronavirus.
The 35-year-old rose from the Italian giants’ bench in the 56th minute of their Serie A clash in Spezia.
And before the clock struck, Ronaldo had put his team 2-1 up.
However, he didn’t finish there, and his 76th-minute penalty sealed an impressive 4-1 victory.
And it wasn’t a normal pitch: Ronaldo made a panenka.
Former Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata and former PSG star Adrien Rabiot scored the other goals.
Ronaldo’s season came to a halt when he was discovered to have coronavirus while on international service with Portugal.
While reportedly having no symptoms, the Juventus ace was unable to get rid of the virus in time for the Champions League clash against Barcelona, and did not hide his frustration.
But he had two negative tests that allowed him to take his place on the Juve bench.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has missed four games to the Old Lady following her initial positive test.
His absence was felt when a meek Juventus fell to defeat Barcelona in Europe this week.
But the Portuguese legend came back in time to shoot Pirlo’s team in the arm.
The Serie A champions dropped to sixth place after losing a handful of points in their first five games.
But the easy victory takes them to second place, four points behind AC Milan.
