During 2020 these core players have registered a total of FOUR assists to Ronaldo:
Pjanic - Costa - Higuain - Matuidi - Ramsey - Rabiot - Sandro - Bernadeschi
That is COLLECTIVELY. Those last four haven’t even assisted him ONCE.
Pjanic - Costa - Higuain - Matuidi - Ramsey - Rabiot - Sandro - Bernadeschi
That is COLLECTIVELY. Those last four haven’t even assisted him ONCE.
Despite all of this:
- He has 26 goals in 27 league games
- He’s the 1st player to score 25 league goals for Juve since 1961
- He’s scored or assisted in his last 17 league games
