Cristiano Ronaldo pulled off all the tricks in his bag after propelling Juventus to its 9th straight Series A championship against Sampdoria, 2-0.

Upon transferring to Juventus, Ronaldo already captured his second straight Series A title and is still aiming for more to cement his legacy as one of the greatest on the pitch.

The Juventus superstar struck early in the first-half stoppage time that put his squad in a comfortable cushion heading into the second part of the match.

During the 66th minute, the Portuguese striker contributed to their second goal after assisting Federico Bernardeschi with a well-timed pass.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner impressed in the whole match, including several breakaways that were close to being converted to a goal.

Sampdoria tried their best to defend the surging Juventus squad but the experience and the great performance by Ronaldo proved to be too much for the opposing team.

“Delighted for the second consecutive championship and to continue building the history of this great and splendid club,” said Ronaldo on Instagram.
