THREAD revealing the shocking truth about this Juventus side — they’re creating less chances than Leicester.

Ronaldo’s 26 goals in this team is one of his greatest achievements

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

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 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?

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.

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.

He would have had more scoring chances playing for Hoffenheim, Villarreal or Leicester

CLEAR CUT CHANCES (pre-lockdown):

Lewandowski: 43
Immobile: 31
Ronaldo: 0-22

Despite this, CR7 is only 3 goals behind Immobile — and 8 behind Lewandowski with 7 games to play

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.

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.
