Twitter reacts as Cristiano Ronaldo scores winner to secure the first piece of silverware with Juventus
Serie A table-toppers Juventus went head-to-head with AC Milan in the Supercoppa Italiana finals Bianconeri on Wednesday to secure their first trophy of the season.
The win marks Ronaldo's first piece of silverware with the side since his move away from Real Madrid last summer. It also means that the Portuguese has secured silverware in all the four leagues that he has played in.
The 33-year-old scored the only goal of the game in the form of a 61st-minute header to hand the Serie A champions eventual victory.
An elated Ronaldo said, "It was a very difficult match, it's very warm and hard to play in these conditions."
"We played well, created a lot of chances and obviously I am happy to have scored the winning goal."
"It was my intention to start 2019 with a trophy, I have my first title with Juve and I am very happy."
"But it is only the start, we will take it one step at a time. We've got this trophy, now we must keep working hard to achieve the next one."
Ronaldo has now scored 16 goals for Juventus in all competitions since his arrival.
Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri heaped praise on the Portuguese forward, stating that his goal-scoring prowess is the exact reason why the club bought him.
Speaking to Rai Sport, (via Goal) he said, "We signed Cristiano Ronaldo because he is decisive and scores big goals."
"He scored a great goal and moved very well, but the whole team put in a good performance.
"There were a few too many counter-attacks - we should've had more moves like the [Paulo] Dybala disallowed goal.
"Instead, we kept trying to move it around too quickly and allowed Milan some counters, forcing us to sprint back."
