RONALDO TO STAY AT JUVENTUS - NEDVED

Cristiano Ronaldo will stay at Italian Serie A champions Juventus beyond this summer according to Pavel Nedved.

Ex-Juventus winger Nedved is the Vice President at Juventus and he has given his opinion on the rumours linking Cristiano Ronaldo with a transfer to another club in the summer via his interview with DAZN. The Portuguese national team talisman has been linked with a return to his former clubs, Manchester United and Real Madrid.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: RONALDO FAILS TO SCORE

Cristiano Ronaldo is undoubtedly one of the best players of his generation but the Portuguese player was unable to hit the heights expected during the Champions League last 16 tie between his Juventus side and FC Porto of Portugal.

Ronaldo was expected to lead the Juventus' assault against their Portuguese opponents in the quest to seal a place in the final eight of the Champions League this season but he failed in this regard as Juventus crashed out of the competition at the round of 16 stage for the second season running.

JUVENTUS OUT OF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

Italian champions Juventus have been eliminated from this season's Champions League after they failed to beat Portuguese champions FC Porto over two legs.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the talisman for Juventus and he was largely ineffective as the Old Lady crashed out the Champions League at the round of 16 stage on the away goals rule for the second season in a row.

Italian tactician Maurizio Sarri was the man in charge last season when Juventus fell to French giants Lyon at the same stage on the away goals rule. Lyon had beaten Juventus 1-0 at home in the first leg before a 2-1 win for Juventus in the second leg ensured that Lyon moved into the quarterfinals on the away goals rule at the expense of the Old Lady.

RONALDO LEADS GOLDEN BOOT RACE

Juventus attacker Cristiano Ronaldo has taken the lead once again in the Golden Boot race in the Italian Serie A after his brace in the last game, a 3-0 win at home to bottom team Crotone on Monday night.

Cristiano Ronaldo was able to respond to the challenge from major rival RomeluLukaku, who had taken the lead with his strike in the Milan Derby at the weekend. Cristiano Ronaldo and RomeluLukaku were tied on 16 goals apiece ahead of the weekend's set of games in the Italian Serie A.

Ronaldo breaks new record after surpassing Pele

Cristiano Ronaldo has broken yet another record after managing to get 758 goals in his career. The striker scored in the 4-1 victory over Udinese during the weekend. The Portuguese was able to come up with a brace in either side of half-time break.

As a result of these rules, Ronaldo has overtaken Pele in the all-time goalscoring charts. It was only a few weeks ago that the Brazil icon was overtaken by Lionel Messi. Now, he has been pushed down to the third spot after Ronaldo’s brace. It is still incredible that Ronaldo continues to break records at the age of 35.

CRICKET LEGEND PICKS RONALDO OVER MESSI

Football fans around the world have been involved in the debate on who's the better player between Juventus attacker Cristiano Ronaldo and Barcelona skipper Lionel Messi for the better part of the last two decades and the debate to determine who's the better player won't end anytime soon.

As long as the two players are still actively playing football though it must be pointed out that the two superstars are in the last years of their respective football careers.

A lot of major personalities from other sports have been drawn into the aforementioned debate and legendary Pakistan pace bowlerShoaibAkhtar is the latest personality to be dragged into the debate.

RONALDO BREAKS PELE RECORD

Brazilian football icon Edson Araantes Do Nascimento, also known as Pele, is regarded by many as the greatest football player ever and Juventus superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is not far from him especially after he broke his record for the most career goals.

Pele had held the record of 757 career goals for almost five decades before Portuguese national team captain Cristiano Ronaldo smashed the record at the weekend during the league win over Udinese.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Juventus ended last year on a poor note following the 3-0 home defeat at the hands of struggling Fiorentina.

RONALDO AND MESSI ARE BOTH PHENOMENON - PIRLO

One of the most talked-about debates in the world is the one that involves Juventus superstar Cristiano Ronaldo and Barcelona forward Lionel Messi.

It is a topic that has been talked about for over a decade, and will likely continue in the next one, even after they hang their boots.

The two players face-off in the Champions League when Juventus travel to Spain to take on Barcelona at the Camp Nou on Tuesday. Before the crunch tie, the managers of both clubs Andrea Pirlo (Juventus) and Ronald Koeman (Barcelona) were both asked the same question.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi pay tributes to Diego Maradona

Cristiano Ronaldo has labelled Argentine legend Diego Maradona as an unparalleled magician. The Juventus star was speaking after learning about the Argentine legend passing away at the age of 60.

Regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time, Maradona has a huge following across the world.

In a few decades, Ronaldo might also be regarded in the same breath as the former great given his accomplishments in the game. Maradona had been struggling with a lot of physical issues in recent years and he died of cardiac arrest in his home. This led to tributes from around the world flowing to the icon.

Ronaldo is not the only superstar to pay tributes to the former great.

HIGUAIN OMITS RONALDO FROM BEST LIST

Gonzalo Higuain has surprisingly left out Cristiano Ronaldo from his list of best players.

Higuain shared the dressing room with Ronaldo at two different clubs but that was not enough for the Portuguese to be part of the list of the best three players at the moment. The player told ESPN the identity of his best three footballers.

Higuain shared the Argentine national team dressing room with Barcelona skipper Lionel Messi. The Inter Miami striker also snubbed Messi just like what was obtainable with Ronaldo. According to Higuain, Bayern striker Robert Lewandowski, Real Madrid star Karim Benzema and young Borussia Dortmund hitman ErlingHaaland are the top three players currently.
