The Special Gift Juventus President Gave Ronaldo Pre-Match Proves Just How Good He Is

Cristiano Ronaldo has continued to make his presence felt in Serie A by showing how important he really is for Juventus since his summer move.

Before the Old Lady's match with Cagliari today, the former Real Madrid star received a special present.

Juventus president Andrea Agnelli handed the five-time Ballon d'Or winner a custom shirt with the number '400' on the back of it.

Of course, that's in reference to the 33-year-old Portuguese footballer becoming the first player to reach 400 career goals in Europe's top five leagues last month.

During his time at the Italian club, he has also become the fifth player in history to smash the 400-goal mark in club career.

Ronaldo has made 11 appearances for Juventus so far and scored seven times.

The reigning Serie A champions beat Cagliari 3-1, with Paulo Dybala scoring in the first minute of the match.

Massimiliano Allegri's side have won ten matches and only had one draw in the league this season.

Ronaldo will take on former club Manchester United in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Will Ronaldo win his sixth Ballon d'Or?

Let us know in the comments.
