Ronaldo's 1st Juventus goals bring out the best (and worst) of Twitter
It's about time.
After three frustratingly goalless appearances, Cristiano Ronaldo finally bagged his first goal as a Juventus player, capitalizing on some questionable Sassuolo defending for a simple 50th-minute tap-in Sunday. He then added a second just 15 minutes later, latching onto a perfectly weighted pass from Emre Can before striking it just inside the far post with his left foot.
As expected, Twitter came prepared for the occasion.
