Cristiano Ronaldo scores in first Juventus appearance

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a goal in his first Juventus appearance, as the first team defeated the B team, their under-20 squad, 5-0 in the club’s annual friendly at the Agnelli family estate, in rural Villar Perosa on Sunday.

Ronaldo, who joined Juve from Real Madrid last month, began preseason training on July 30.

The Portugal captain did not participate in any of the International Champions Cup games in the United States.

Ronaldo scored the opening goal in the 8th minute, taking down a long ball over the top to beat goalkeeper Leonardo Loria.

He then forced an own goal from Riccardo Capellini 10 minutes later.

“An exciting day in a special place that tells the winning story of Juventus. Thanks to all of the fans for their great support!” Ronaldo wrote on Twitter after the game.
