The Portuguese superstar entered the history books once again in Tuesday's clash with Valencia.

It took the genius of Cristiano Ronaldo to ensure that Juventus secured all three points at stake in Tuesday's Champions League game with Valencia inside the Allianz Stadium. The former Real Madrid superstar, despite not getting on the scoresheet, produced a brilliant bit of skill to link up with Mario Mandzukic to get his side's only goal of the night.

The Old Ladies were frustrated for the most part of the encounter with Valencia – a side that eventually conceded missing out on qualification to the knockout phase following the night's defeat. Juventus struggled to create many chances in the first half due to the bullishness of Los Che's defense.

However, the tide turned from the hour mark onward following Mandzukic's first goal in the UEFA Champions League since his brace against Real Madrid in 2017's final. The Croatian almost topped up his feat in the 80th-minute but saw his half-volley fall into the hands of Valencia's Neto.

For Cristiano Ronaldo, the win was simply a moment to savor with him reaching a new milestone in the competition as a result. Per the historical archives, Cristiano Ronaldo became the first player in the Champions League to reach 100 wins.

This cumulatively entails victories during his spells at Sporting C. P., Manchester United, Real Madrid and now Juventus. Furthermore, should Ronaldo have scored against Valencia, he would have equalled Raul's record of having scored against 33 teams in the competition - the most any single player has managed in history.

Tuesday's win also consolidated Juventus' position as Group H winners with a game to spare despite Manchester United's late heroics against Young Boys.
