Cristiano Ronaldo admits he “was a little tense” at failing to break his Juventus duck, but relished his brace to beat Sassuolo.
The Ballon d’Or winner took 28 attempts and 320 minutes to find a way through in Serie A and ended up scoring twice in 15 minutes in today’s 2-1 victory.
“I’m very happy, we started well. Sassuolo defend well, but we put in an intense performance and deserved to win.
“I really wanted to score these first goals and I’m happy to have found the net,” Ronaldo told Sky Sport Italia.
He could easily have had four and missed a couple of very good opportunities from close range.
“This is football. The important thing is that the team wins. Obviously, I was a little tense with all the talk after my move from Real Madrid and not scoring, so there were a lot of expectations, but I thank my teammates for supporting me throughout.
“I knew that I was working well and it was only a matter of time. I am adapting well to Italian football.
“The Champions League is my favourite tournament. It’s a very difficult group, we know that we can do well and Juve must focus on being the best.”

Champions League is his favourite competition and first match is against Valencia ( a Spanish team ). He knows them well he faced Valencia multiple time and he scored a lot of goals. So, it will be not difficult to finding the net against Valencia for C.Ronaldo in his favourite competition. He's the King of U.C.L and we all knows it, it's his competition.

That's what makes him to score goals. Two theories in Ronaldo dictionary :- 1) Never give up. 2) Work hard.

"If you set your goals ridiculously high and it's a failure, you will fail above everyone else's success. Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it."
