Week after week, Cristiano Ronaldo is making his presence felt in Serie A games, and this week's clash was a good example of how he's becoming one of the most relevant players for the bianconeri.
The Portuguese striker had a direct implication in two of Juve's three goals against Napoli, which saw the black and white side keep their unbeaten run in the domestic competition intact. He assisted Mario Mandzukic for the game's equalizer, and then cemented the team's win with another assist, this time put to good use by Leonardo Bonucci.
For those who believed that Juventus would turn into a one-man show with Cristiano Ronaldo around, his performances resemble more and more to what you'd expect from someone who's a team player.
Cristiano Ronaldo (7) has now been directly involved in more goals in Serie A this season than any other player:

If that was not enough to understand the impact he's had in his first season at La Vecchia Signora, here's how he's helped the bianconeri match an 87-year-old record.
