Let’s start by looking at their league rankings in certain stats — from WhoScored & FBref. Firstly, CROSSING:
- Average crosses = 16th
- Accurate crosses = 14th
- Assists from crosses = 14th
- Headed shots = 11th
- Average crosses = 16th
- Accurate crosses = 14th
- Assists from crosses = 14th
- Headed shots = 11th
CR7 is the player with the MOST headed goals in history.
- 15/16 = 9 headers
- 16/17 = 8 headers
- 17/18 = 7 headers
- 18/19 = 9 headers
- 19/20 = 2 headers (TWO)
He’s lost about 6-7 goals this season because his teammates can’t cross.

He’s lost about 6-7 goals this season because his teammates can’t cross.
He is also known for efficient finishing inside the box. This team STRUGGLES to get the ball into the box:
- Passes into the box = 6th
- Crosses into the box = 13th
- Shots in the 6 yard box = 7th
- Touches in the box = 7th
Where are the 1st’s and 2nd’s?

- Crosses into the box = 13th
- Shots in the 6 yard box = 7th
- Touches in the box = 7th

Ronaldo is also a threat from SET PIECES. But his teammates can’t even pick him out:
- Accurate corners = 5th
- Key passes from corners = 7th
- Accurate FK passes = 12th
- Key passes from FKs = 16th
This is a mid-table level performance.
- Accurate corners = 5th
- Key passes from corners = 7th
- Accurate FK passes = 12th
- Key passes from FKs = 16th
This is a mid-table level performance.
Juventus ARE NOT in the top 20 teams for big chances created in the top 4 leagues.
Bayern are creating DOUBLE the amount of big chances.

So far — I highlighted their bad stats.
So to be fair — let’s look at EVERY offensive/midfield stat from WhoScored:
Out of 64 stats, Juventus ranked first in ONLY TWO:

Their offensive stats are in the top 4 of the league less than half the time (28/64)
This shows you how this side has almost no creativity for a top team.
The only goals come from individual brilliance, which is often Ronaldo & Dybala

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
Don’t let the numbers fool you, he’s still one of the best in the world.
