Cristiano Ronaldo Records 20th League Goal for 12th Straight Season

Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 20th league goal of the season for Juventus on Tuesday in a 3-0 win against Spezia.

In an impressive display of consistency that spans three decades, the Portuguese forward has scored 20-plus league goals in each of the last 12 seasons—the last time he failed to log 20 league goals was in his final season with Manchester United in 2008/2009.

In the 89th minute with victory all but assured at Allianz Stadium in Turin, Ronaldo controlled a pass in stride on a counter attack and coolly placed his shot into the bottom corner with expert precision from just inside the 18-yard box.
