Ronaldo becomes first Juventus player in 60 years to score 25 league goals as he finally breaks free-kick duck

Cristiano Ronaldo has become the first man in 60 years to hit 25 goals for Juventus in a single Serie A season, bringing up the milestone with his first-ever free-kick goal for the Italian giants.

The prolific Portuguese reached that mark by finding the target in Saturday's derby against Torino, which ended in a convincing victory for the league leaders.

His remarkable standards have been maintained throughout the current campaign, with the target found on 25 occasions through just 26 appearances in the Italian top-flight.

Ronaldo is still looking to chase down the Capocannoniere crown in 2020, but remains four efforts short of Lazio frontman Ciro Immobile.
