The former Manchester United star slotted home a first-half penalty to give Juventus the lead and help the Old Lady go four points clear of Lazio in the Serie A points table. The penalty took the Cristiano Ronaldo goals to 43 in Italy, making him the highest-scoring Portuguese in the Serie A. The 43 Cristiano Ronaldo goals in Serie A makes it one more than the 42 his compatriot Rui Costa managed in the eight years at Fiorentina and Milan between 1994-2006. The 43 Cristiano Ronaldo goals, on the other hand, have been amassed in just two seasons in Italy, with 21 in his first season, and the penalty against Bologna being the 22nd of the current season. Admirably, the Juventus star is now the highest-scoring Portuguese in the Premier League, the LaLiga, and the Serie A. Ronaldo has scored 84 Premier League goals for Manchester United, before scoring a staggering 311 goals in 292 appearances for Real Madrid.
