Juventus is putting pressure on Milan.

And Cristiano Ronaldo puts pressure on Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

This after the victory against Cagliari where Ronaldo and Dejan Kulusevski had a red line on their cheek.

Reigning Italian champions Juventus defeated Cagliari 2-0 at home. And now he is one point behind the league leader, AC Milan, which has a less disputed match.

The victory was arranged, as so often, by Cristiano Ronaldo. At the end of the first half, he entered the penalty area and placed the ball at the far post.

And a few minutes later, just before the halftime break, he became a two-goal shooter. A corner was nodded towards a running Ronaldo, who stretched out his leg behind him to make it 2-0. The Portuguese is the eighth goal of the season and now shares the shooting league advantage with Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

In the game, Ronaldo and everyone on the field had a red line on their cheek. This is to support a campaign that draws attention to violence against women. An initiative carried out by the league association and the players’ union in a joint demonstration.

Kulusevski speechless

The Swedish national team player Dejan Kulusevski started for Juventus, in the 85th minute he was replaced without goals.

Milan can regain the league lead, and Ibrahimovic can take the league lead in shooting, on Sunday when the team face Napoli at home.
